The student proposes creating a film magazine about movies releasing in 2021, including writing reviews and creating a trailer for their own film idea. They decided on this project because they enjoy graphic design and are familiar with software like Photoshop. They also have knowledge about many films and want to watch some releasing this year. The student will research genres by watching trailers online for inspiration for their action/adventure trailer. The magazine will have a green masthead and brown film title on the cover to match the forest background image from their horror/mystery film idea. The trailer will have a mysterious tone as it follows friends fleeing a mysterious character in the forest. The student is familiar with the styles of magazines and trailers from previous work
