Film Research- Title Ideas

 PROCESS

In today's blog post, I will be researching title ideas and conventions. There is usually a lot of thought and meaning put into a movie title, so here I'm going to be trying to come up with a fitting name for my brief.

RESEARCH

Character Name/Label Titles: In many movies, the title is usually just the main character's name and/or what they're doing. For example, movies like "Juno","Forrest Gump", and "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street". Although this would be unaffected since I don't have my character's name yet. 

Descriptive or Symbolic Phrases: These type of titles are usually common in films of growth, which would be perfect for a coming-of-age movie. It's usually a metaphor or very important message in the film, for example: "Call me by Your Name","Stand by Me", or "Say Anything". I like the idea of this type of title, but I'd have to come up with a good phrase. 

Time-Based or Numerical Titles: Highlights specific time, or age. For example, "13 going on 30", "17 again", and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days". I also like the idea of this kind of title but then it would be really similar to "13 Going on 30".

After brainstorming for a while of different names for my films, I decided I really like the name: "Not My Time". It explains House she's not exactly in her generation, but she still embraces her old self/ style throughout the film.

When it comes for the font and color of my film, I am thinking of something like:

I think it perfectly captures the time period I want, and I want a simple color for the finished product, but it depends on my post production.

REFLECTION

Today's research was a huge step in becoming closer to finally starting my production. Figuring out my title and the font I wanted was a long process, but I really like how it came out and hopefully I don't change it throughout the process. Now I'm finally getting closer and closer to starting my actual production, I can't wait for the next post in my blog!
