This ancillary text was great fun to make. I tried to emulate the style and layout of real magazines such as Empire, with the main article complimented by side features and adverts to upcoming articles and reviews. I wanted to make the article seem like it had been written by a review so although I did praise it very highly I did also write criticism of the film. The phrase 'Lightning does strike twice', is both a pun on the name of the film (a common convention used in headline writing) and a reference to the fact that this is my second Media Studies production. I enjoyed creating the back story for me and my group, and the graphic design element of this task was something I thoroughly enjoyed. This task also allowed me to express how pleased I am with the performances of the actors we used. Unfortunately the quality of the pictures has lowered when the file was uploaded to Scribd, however this is unavoidable.
