We completed all the filming for our trailer and had putted it all into the structure so that it can be understood. We had continued editing the scenes with after effects so that we could create the special effects to portray the actors lightning powers.
We completed our final drafts of our print tasks adding conventions such as a credit box on our poster and finishing touches to our magazine so that it looks more professional for example we choose to use two primary colors red and white on our font text so that it looks professional and so there are not too many colors distracting the audience.
We also showed our finished production to the our media A level class and on the social networking site Facebook as well as putting it on you tube so that we could attain a wide range of feedback. We then took the feedback we received and got together as a group to try and improve on our production to the best quality. We found that the best feedback we attained was from the social networking site Facebook as most of our friends on Facebook fit into our target audience age group of 13-18 so that the feedback we received was mainly from this age group which was effective as they were the age group that we was trying to reach.
We also created our electronic evaluation of our production using the same camera we used for our production, recording through its mic we were able to complete our evaluation following structured questions. We also added video from our production and images to our evaluation so that we can give the viewer a visual display of what we are talking about allowing us to analyse our production whilst actually providing video to give the viewer a more thorough understanding of what we did in our production and why.

January update
We produced our second draft of our print tasks as we has attained feedback from the class on our first draft, we wrote down all the feedback we attained then we all got together as a group to see how we can take the positive and negative feedback and use it to further improve our print designs.
We continued filming and started filming in our main location at riverside. We started filming the main fight scenes practicing the moves so that they could be perfect and will look realistic in our final production. We had good weather when we was filming with blue skies which was a problem as we needed a gloomy setting with fog or rain, so we started looking at online tutorials which show how you can generate rain through editing programs so that we can create a storm to fit with the big storm in our production that gives our actors their unique powers and so that we could create a gloomy and mysterious atmosphere.

December update
Having chosen our target audience of teenagers from 13-18 we started planning the design for our poster print task having already started on our magazine first draft in November.
We had completed most of our research into conventions so that we were able to create a professional layout and structure of the poster so that it looks effective and to a professional standard with conventions that are used.
We used the green screen images of our actors as we wanted to follow the layout that we had created in our magazine front cover with the image of the actor in the page, however we choose to use all three of the main actors together so that the audience can relate to the actors in the film and in our magazine front cover.
Having researched the popular conventions of the poster we looked on to how to layout our credit box, production companies so that it looked effective and professional. We also decided on changing the characters eyes having two actors with blue and one with red to show the dispute between them and it insinuates the concept of them having powers and not just being ordinary people.
We also continued filming, working on filming the chase scene in the woods and the car chase scene.

November Update
From the beginning of November to date we have been following our script and call sheet for filming Electrio having filmed various different shots in the location to make sure that visually the fight scene and chase scene are clear that the transition and effects that show our powers are added they can be clearly seen in the light. We have continued researching different transition and effects on professional editing sites so that we can get the foundations of ideas for the lightning transitions in our production.
We had also spent most of the later end of the month researching leading film magazine covers such as Empire and Total film to understand the conventional style and layout of these popular selling magazines, such as the pugs, master head, strap line, anchorage text and banners are all in the conventional place, look professional and clear. We kept the house-style so that it has its own distinguishing design that's distinctive from competitors.
We produced a magazine cover for a magazine we named "REEL FILM" we felt this was a significant title, we used a lightning background to convey the storm in our film and used a bold font that's eye catching but holds a professional look. Leading up to our magazine photo design we had a photo shoot in front of a green screen doing various different poses so that we could choose for the most effective photos to show our characters, we created a magazine cover for each character so that each front cover has its own spin to the personality of the character.
As a group we reviewed what we feel would be our target audience and created a thorough audience profile for what we feel this audience is in this case we believe that its a younger audience of teenagers from 13- 18 as we feel that they can relate to the life's of the teenage actors in our film that are still in education.
Our research into synergy also continued we feel that synergy is so effective by uploading our videos to platforms such as Blogger, Facebook and YouTube which creates a brand identity for Impulse inc as our productions can be linked through the sites and create a recognisable house-style to our followers.
