The document summarizes Cassandra's creative critical project which was a low-budget amateur film. It discusses various techniques used to represent characters through voiceover, tone, and avoiding stereotypes. It was distributed on YouTube to target teenage audiences given the low budget. Production skills improved throughout the project by addressing issues like background music being too loud over dialogue and redoing effects. Adobe Premiere Pro was used to add various effects to correct color and lighting to draw audience attention and create mood.

I have tried different kinds of methods / techniques to represent characters in
my film ,for example I have used voice over , effect and the tone of voice to
connote the personality and the relationship between each characters to the
audiences. I didn’t use any stereotype in my film. I target the audience by
uploaded the film to the social website ( YouTube) because there are a lot of
teenagers visit that website everyday. Due to the fact that my film was low
budget amateur production so I didn't’t create a star appeal. Moreover, my
characters are special armed police and sergeant so they don’t need have any
make up and wear any special costumes.

 I have research two institution companies which are DiBonaventura Picture and
spyglass Entertainment. I like DiBonaventura Picture more than spyglass Entertainment
because I prefer their visual and sound aesthetics; their movies are more pleasing to the
eye. Many of the ideas are related to mystery – detective. I have researched some
recourses (eg walking dead, the following, narrative theory , consent form ,etc)in some
particular website (eg www.google.com, imdb.com and etc).I have created my own logo with
Adobe Illustrator. the logo is a hat shape. Predominantly, the detective will wear a
hat. To signify the genre, I decided to use a typical costume to indicate my
archetypal character. the text in red & black colors because it shows an aesthetic
code, which signifies a particular meaning to the audience. The red color
connotes the thrill atmosphere as well as danger/caution. On the other hand, the
black color signifies crime or evil.

After I uploaded my first version of my opening sequence , I noticed that the
dialogue in the clip is not clear enough because the back ground music is too
loud it covered the dialogue during the conversation in the the opening
sequence .Also, I realized that I need to create a background music not just
download someone’s song. More over, from the first version the color of the
effect and the lighting effect is not as good as I expect so I redo all the part I
did wrong .I have learned how to uses time reverse, and flash back effect also I
learned how to used the 8 point Garbage Matte and ultra key

I used the premiere Pro CS6 in this project I have used quite a lot of technique
in this opening sequence. For example I have used time remapping, equalize ,
lighting effect ,volume, lighting, fast color corrector .Most of the effects are
mainly use to correcting color to make it better looking also can it can create
the mise en scene in the opening sequence.the other effect is used to draw
audience attention. For example the lighting can denote the audience that the
character knows how to use special power .
