Week One: • Review the work you have done on Identity.• Choose one of these pieces as a starting point for new ideas.• Taking this piece as your inspiration, mind map initial ideas for a presentation

piece for the exhibition, including drawing out some of your ideas.• From this, decide what aspect of Identity you wish to explore.• Research how two artists, photographers or film-makers who have explored a

similar theme. • Plan and take at least one set of shots before the first lesson next week.• [A set of shots or ‘a film’ from now on is a minimum of 15-20 photographs, or 60

seconds of footage, all exploring the same idea]
