Last pitch for final ideas before I begin shooting

OK, here are the two ideas I've come up with for my final. I'm going to shoot both of them this weekend and then see what I like more.
The first is weapons. I have a couple swords, and the theater program has some really awesome swords too. I also have a dagger, and Krissy has a Katana. I also have some bows and arrows. The challenge with this one would be making it interesting, so I think I'll have to experiment with different stuff.

The other one is extreme close ups of faces -- just faces. Not the hair or background or shirt. The challenge with this one would be to get amazing light, so I'll see how the light is when I'm shooting this weekend.
