This document provides a summary of the student's progress through their course and plans for their final major project (FMP). The student plans to create a fanzine focused on female role models in sport to bring recognition to the lack of representation and equality for women. They chose this topic because they feel it is an important issue that needs more exposure. Their influences and research plans include magazines about role models, feminist figures worldwide, and interviewing people in their community about influential women. Through their descriptive writing style and use of various production techniques in the fanzine, the student aims to convey the seriousness of ongoing gender inequality and motivate their audience to recognize there is still work left to be done.

between men and womenin thisgeneration and
there is still more work to do.
Describe the tone/mood/styleofyourproject
[which productiontechniques/characteristicsare
youemploying?]
Tone- the tone will be quiteserious butunique as
well as being informal. I think I wouldtry to create
a descriptive style- to do thisI will try to focus on
an event/ a character or place in detail.
Throughoutmy research I will try to try many
different productiontechniquesas possible.
Why have youdecided to makeyour project in
this style?
I havedecided tomake it in thisstyle because I
think it suits the subject. I think writing in this
style will also give the audience a sense of
importancefor thissubject.
