Title ideas

The title ideas that we came up with as a group were;

  • World War III
  • Undone
  • Disengaged
  • Camping revulsion
To find out which ones are more appealing to the target audience we decided that we should do a miniature questionnaire about what titles they find are more appealing.

If I look at the data which i collected it was clear to see that the most favourite name was 'World War III'. One of the reasons why we also liked this name as a group is because this was the title which suited the plot of the film as well as accompanying the story line perfectly. This is because the storyline is all about having a war on the verge which females will be fighting for.

 I collected this information from a social networking site called Facebook, on this social networking site I was able to  ask the audience what name they preferred as well as giving a brief summary about what the plot is and so they responded with their answers.


 We asked a variety of males and females within our target audience range to see what they preferred about the name and what the reason for this was, as well as why would it attract them as an audience.

Target audience feedback;


    Female aged 20-- " I like the name World War III, my reasons for picking this name is because it sounds like a more modernised war film which is the kinds of films which i enjoy to watch and be entertained by. The other possible film titles are okay but none of them really appeal to my self as I am a university student who is currently studying the history of todays society through media and i feel like World War III will be a great impact upon todays society to show remorse and to be grateful for the world we have today."


   Male aged 72-- " Im unsure about weather the title could be misleading about a film. This is because many people find that i am a very prestigious character and I tend to judge a book by its cover, so it depends on how i perceive a title is how i will perceive the film and I am the individual who tends to judge a book by its cover. By looking at the title ideas above I can thoroughly say that i would not want to go and see a film called any of the above because it simply does not appeal to me because it is pure bore."

From this research we have decided to call our film World War III. The titles for films are usually chosen for a specific reason or possibly multiple reasons. Some of the factors which influence the choice of a title could be;

  • Named after a character
  • Named after the location
  • Named with a link by a metaphor for something in which is going on within the film.
Some examples of these influences are;

Names;

  • Aladdin
  • Snow White
  • Forrest Gump
  • Harry Potter
  • Puss In Boots
  • Iron Man
  • Spider Man
  • Finding Nemo
  • Racing Stripes
Location

  • Eden Lake
  • Jurassic Park
  • Silent Hill
  • Troy
  • Amityville horror
  • Jersey Girl
  • The Bridge on the River Kwai
