Mother
The film, Mother, highlights how society favors the rich and overshadows the poor. In the film, incompetent authorities do little to bring the murderer, Do-Joon, to justice. In the end, an innocent disabled boy ultimately becomes the scapegoat for the murder.
This re-envisioned concept for the main title, suggests the inequality of social classes by comparing how coins and cash react under water. Although coins and cash both have value, when put in water, the coins always sink while the hundred-dollar bill stays afloat. This simple comparison aims to symbolize that in times of hardship, the rich will rise to the top, and overshadow the unfortunate.

Process
My overall process includes, storyboard sketching, shooting, color correcting, and photoshopping. I created a small set to shoot the coins underwater. To achieve a mysterious mood, I used strong directional lighting, then did color corrections and type compositing in Photoshop later on.
