Group crits

So yesterday were the first group critiques of the assignment, and I took to them the images from the first two shoots that I had done.
We discussed how my images seemed to work alright, and how there was a sense of fear to them, and they were slightly unnerving however what mainly came out was that they lacked an overall theme and that I wasn't clear on expression of the unknown as I had wanted to show.
I was told to try and refine my idea, keep shooting and perhaps explore this idea of fear even more, of an mysterious character, and to possibly develop a narrative within a series, such as someone being chased through the woods.

I think that the idea of a narrative could be an interesting theme to play with, however I feel that someone being chased through the woods could be seen as a little cliche. I need to refine my ideas and shoot again.
I was also told to look at photographer Tim Simmons, who I have heard of before and I will look into at a later date.
