Documentary Unit - The Dilemma of the Intro

At the beginning we decided to start the video with something that says Brentwood so people would know where we are from the very beginning. We couldn't get a good sign at first, which is what led me to create an animation on After Effects of a city and the name Brentwood. There three different versions of it, where the first one was at night, the second one during sunset and the last one said 'Brentwood' instead of 'Welcome to Brentwood.' Here are the examples of the three versions of it:





After our first feedback from our teacher Helen, she mentioned something to us that we all agreed in the end and it was that due to the fancy look of the Brentwood intro, it looked like the video was about Brentwood at that that was the intro of the film, which isn't. We all agreed to remove it from there and decided in the end that it would look nice as the background of the credits right at the end of the film. It ended up looking much better and we changed the substituted this Brentwood title with a real sign that says Brentwood on it. Here is the new sign and the look of the clip in the the credits.
