We had previously planned that our credits sequence will contain Jamil in his getting ready to attend his Saturday detention while the opening credits play through. However, this was not possible as we drafted that our opening credits sequence would run for approximately 26 seconds. Trying to film Jamil getting ready in the morning would take around 45 seconds meaning that we couldn't fit the whole thing in such a short space of time. Therefore, we decided to completely change the opening credits sequence.
After confirming the precise details, we decided that we should include Jamil making his way to school rather than getting ready in the morning as it would create more mystery in the story and allow the audience to engage with the film by creating their own interpretations. This is because the first thing the audience sees is Jamil on an empty bus and are not given much information about what will happen next. What we show on-screen is Jamil on the bus on his way to school as he receives a text saying that what time his detention is.
