Name Ideas for Film

  We came up with an array of names for our film ranging from what we thought would fit the film to what we thought would make the audience want to watch the film. A name is crucial for the film to do well at the box office as if a film was not named successfully, the audience will not want to watch it as it could sound uninteresting.  The same would happen if a film was named something which is suggesting it belongs to a different genre. This could then result in confusion amongst the audience because there would be conflicting genres.

  After doing research and looking at names of films that have done well, I found that a lot of crime/thrillers names are centred around death and criminal activity, such as 'The Fugitive'. The names that I came up with are:
 

  19 - This name arose because this is the house number of the house we are filming at and it also sounds mysterious which will leave the audience questioning what the film is about.  However, this name might be too vague to give the audience a clear idea of what the film is about.
 


  Revenge - This name arose because this is what the film is solely about.
  It gives a clear description of what the film is about and hints at the genre.

  The Vengeance - This name arose because it is a synonym of revenge. However, I think that this sounds more intriguing which would entice the audience into watching the film.


  Death seeker - This name arose because the killer has set out to kill the three witnesses, making him an actual 'death seeker.'
  However, I think this name is too blunt and doesn't conceal any information.

  No trial - This name arose because this is what the killer is trying to have by killing the three witnesses so that there will be no witnesses to the original killings and so there will be 'no trial.'

  Execution - This name arose due to the fact that the killings will be like an execution, so the name is straight forward in order that the audience would straight away know the theme of the film without giving away too much information about the plot.


  The executor - This name arose from the name before.  I felt that this is more powerful with the added 'The' because it highlights a specific character which the audience would be able to recognise as a killer.


  Over all the films '19', 'Execution', 'Revenge' and 'Death seeker' got no votes. I think this is because two of them, 'Execution' and 'Revenge' had improved versions beneath which made them seem not as effective.  The title 'No trial' got two votes.  I think it got this because it is technically what the film is about therefore the person that chose this probably though it was fitting for that reason. Next 'The Executor' got five votes.  This is probably down to being what the film is about so it probably looked better against 'Execution' as that is a less effective version of it. The title that got the most votes was 'The vengeance' with eight votes.  I think this was successful because it sounds mysterious and gives the audience an idea about the theme of the film whilst being quite simple as well.
