Opening sequence: Choosing the final version
Here are the final versions of our film. We are thinking of choosing the second version but will make our final decision after we have shown these two to our audience.
This is our first version:
Here is our second version:
After showing both versions to our audience we found that the second version was easier for the audience to to see the subtle shots that we included to have a threatening feel to it. This helps to place the audience so they can see our preferred reading. Also the first music didn't draw the audience into the opening scene as much as the second because the second music has an ominous feel to it and the audience wants to know what the character's are doing to have this dark theme following them.

This second picture shows how I made the titles move on the screen. Here I clicked on the cropping button on the title that I had added
Second I added new keyframes for my text.
Lastly I made the screen pan away at the last two keyframes so when the sequence plays the text moves off the screen at the right time.

Name of film
We originally had the idea of using Morning Coffee as our title for our film however we decided to go with the title Mug Shot for two main reasons.
The first is that the title highlights the two main aspects of the plot that affects both Layla and Sophia. This is used because later in the film you find out the cause of death was poison in the coffee that Sophia drank and the second aspect is that Layla is sentenced to prison and the picture of her 'mug shot' will be shown. This works well with the music change because it really helps to bring out the subtle shots and the connotations of them throughout the film opening.
The second is because the title is a pun. In social media puns are used quite often and even though people find them annoying they are easily remembered. This is good because it helps to give our movie a lasting effect.

There is a third minor reason and that is the pun in the name is a reference to my prelim video I created in the summer. At the end of the film the words 'coming this fall' appeared which was also a pun towards the short movie.
