plan for the next half of my project

Stereotypes;
my first shoot will consist of outlining different stereo types that the media has created, for example, girls are weak, boys are strong. subcultures; Punks, chavs, mobs, goths, geeks, 'normal', hippy.
In my second shoot I will be experimenting with age within stereotypes and having older people dress up as young people and vice versa. i will then edit the photos and merge them too make it more interesting.
My third/fourth shoot will be experimenting with location, I will be dressing models up smart in a prom dress and placing them in obscure locations. I will then dress people in other clothing, more casual, and put them in a smart place.
My fifth shoot will be based on behaviour, the stereotype of expected behaviour of different ages, i will stage a murder and have the convict as an old person with a young child arresting them.
i will hopefully do my sixth shoot on fashion and the ideas of 'perfection' in the media. using airbrushing skills to do so.

Evaluation

To evaluate this project on the media so far, I think the effects of the media have been used up. I like the pictures that I have taken so far, however, the ideas have run dry. Also the shoots that i have done, some of them had little planning and may of not had the desired outcome. I will now be focusing on how the media perceive people, for example stereotypes and mixing up the stereotypes in different locations and with the people. For example an old person wearing 'young peoples clothing'. Firstly i will be outlining stereotypes though, EG, young people on street corners, smoking and causing chaos. Then i will be putting smart clothing in strange places and vice versa.
