FINAL MAJOR PROJECT - 3 IDEAS

Over the past 4 years I have been walking down  a extremely creative road and its only just about to start getting serious I would say, I have always been good at generating ideas but never so good at pursuing them. As this will be my Final project I am aiming to create something incredible that catches everybody's eye and makes them remember me.

At the moment I am completely unsure of what path I am going to take for my final, but here are my 3 initial generated ideas... what do you think? let me know.

Idea 1
My first idea is generated from the film Chicago. For this idea I would like to take the Glam from the women in the film Chicago and twist it into a Film Noir style. Looking at creating shadows and creating the image in to a staged scenario. If i decide to go by this idea I would use mainly studio to generate my images, however there is no harm in trying Film Noir on location in a house etc. identifying cost, What will I need? - Toy military set £5 - PVC room blinds (create shadows on models body/face) - £8.99 - Makeup artist (Free of charge)

Idea 2: 

My second idea is really personal to me and my feelings. Growing up in a society where people are expected to be of a certain build, a certain look and a certain style  is very hard and I clearly did not fit in what so ever when it came to secondary school.  I was told I was "abnormal" and too fat. However according to my BMI it showed I was average weight, of course I did not believe this because of what those horrible people had to say to me. 
This idea would be based on Self portraiture, The images would be about showing confidence, independence and showing that is okay to be yourself. To show this I could also photograph other people of different ages, sizes etc. 
This idea would not cost any thing as photographs will be taken as they are,  I will not need a makeup artist. Photographs will be taken with a various of location shots and studio.

Idea 3 :

My 3rd idea continues on from my portfolio building from my creative process project, the aim for my creative process project was to build my portfolio in areas of photography I have never really tried. I have not managed to get to the place I wanted to be from this project, this will definitely be an on going project but is this the right time? I have been looking at products for my creative process, and I want to expand on that and bring people in to it, advertising photography? I love the idea of carrying on the project but not for my final as I believe I can be a lot more creative than that.
If I go with this idea, I will need to buy new products - makeup etc (not cheap), professional model?, and makeup artists. This would all be studio based.
