In order to get our creative thinking flowing we had wanted to come up with a title idea, we did not want something to extravagant as it may put off the view, such as technical words that they may not understand, it has to make sense to our genre, for example- We have chosen a psychological thriller so we are not going it choose a title that would not make sense to the genre because it could be misleading, such as Love Stories, it's not a love story, nothing relatable so it should not be a title. It is these key details that are sometimes forgotten but are just as equally important. It will be the beginning of our opening so immediately we want out viewer to be hooked onto the opening that we are making.
We have all decided to make ideas of our title, the following ideas of title we have chosen to choose from are:
- Forgotten
- Unhinged
- Forget me not
- I do believe
We have immediately ruled out 'I do believe' as it seems like a fanatical title and would not fit into the genre as much, we have also got rid of the 'Forget me not' as it seems like a rom com, it can be put into a title but it depends on how the audience will take this into context, some may be confused by the title choice. So our final decisions that we have chosen is:
- Forgotten
- Unhinged
These seem like a good choice as it brings the audiences attention immediately and it relates to the ideas of our opening which I will explain in the next blog. I wanted the title simple, just a one worded title because it's eye catching and interesting. Our group have decided that these were the best title. In order to choose our final choice we have asked our target audience which they had preferred. The location to find the result was in school, we have asked 40 people, both gender in which title they had preferred.
The results of these were:
- Forgotten - 15
- Unhinged - 25
Unhinged was the most popular, the feedback I had received were positive to a title that seemed like a negative one. These were the feedback:
"Unhinged seems like a interesting title choice, if I walked past it, I'd see it because I want to know what it is about."
"Forgotten seems mediocre, Unhinged seems different."
"I love the title forgotten, it's interesting and I would want to know what it is about."
"Unhinged is definitely my favourite."
Good use of audience research to inform your choice of title. Say why you think a one word title is important. Compare your choices with real media in your genre.
