After Effects - Title sequence

in this session today i created a title sequence which could be used for a trailer, this type of sequence is commonly used in TV shows like X Factor, Britans got Talent and many others. i started this composition from scratch. first off i created a text layer and a new camera which the lens was set to 28mm as there isn't much distance between each layer in the comp so there will be less DOF(Depth Of Field), I then key framed the Z axis of the text to -1000 so the text disappeared off of the screen i then set another keyframe 8 keyframes in and set the Z axis of the text to its normal size 0. after duplicating the layer i noticed that there was a little jitter between each layers keyframes, to fix this i right clicked on the furthest keyframe and clicked on the keyframe interpolation button which opened  another tab which displayed three buttons the top button said linear but the middle button said auto which basically means that After Effects is guessing the calculations which is not what i wanted as i typed in the exact numbers i wanted for the key-frames, this fixed the issue and I continued to duplicate the text and re-type something else until I finished on "cinemas" to polish the final edit I added motion blur to give the text realism as it flies onto the screen.
