This was more difficult than expected because the backgrounds that the credits were on changed a lot. This meant that we couldn't simply make it one color because basically any color we chose to stick out in one scene would blend in at another scene.

I also like the close ups and two shots, as they can effectively create meaning in very simple ways. I do not like the plain costumes and makeup, because it feels boring and uncreative. I also do not like the awkward acting, b...
