    After close consideration, I have decided to make a film for this exam. I plan on doing a horror/ supernatural film. I chose to do a film because it allows for creativilty and successful teamwork. I have always loved to read fictional stories, causing me to be excited to create a story of my own.     I will be completing this film with Christine and we wish do complete a horror film focused around the idea of an "imaginary friend" would be a supernatuaral being which befriends a younger boy.

This type of journalism uses visual appeal to capture the minds of its audiences. Moreover, print journalism revolves around one topic or lifestyle to maximize sales. In print journalism timing and relevance is imperative, as it is shown in All the President's Men. In this film the article is rushed, in hopes of beating the other journalists in the field.
