Assignment Five Further Brainstorming

My previous idea of a 'city coming to life' turned out to be a better idea on paper than in practice, so now I'm back to the drawing board to brainstorm further ideas. I am just writing down everything that comes to mind:

Collectibles
Making a coffee
World in miniature
A walk on cannock chase
Old/obscelete
Inside a building in daylight and at night
Geometry
Old school/factory
Overgrown
A town/city
An event - Could do a similar project to the Frankfurt market.
January
Nature/City
Only torchlight
Cannock chase going dark
Cooking a meal
War cemetery
City light
Letters/writing
Antiques
Tourists

After all this, I have had a further idea centering my assignment around buskers and street performers. This would be a thematic project rather than a timeline, something my tutor alluded to as a possibility. This seems like it could be a really workable idea, so I have brainstormed this theme in more detail:

Instruments.
Cash.
Closeups of people's faces watching the busker.
Into the end of the trumpet with shallow depth of field.
Instrument closeups.
Cheap/expensive gear.
Wider shot with landmarks.
Slower shutter speed for movement.
Other types of buskers as well as musicians.
Unusual angles / low high.
Blurred people walking past with busker in sharp focus.
Wider scenes incorporating the audience.

General thoughts: Out in all weathers? Need a license? Doing it for how long? Variety of instruments, styles. This topic resonates with me as a musician and street photographer.
