Working on a Title!

Hey! As my group and I continue to work on our pre-production stage for our film opening, a major aspect that we have to think about is a title. 

Film titles are one of the most important aspects of the movie. A title is the first thing that the audience looks at before watching a movie, therefore, it should catch their attention. A title can also affect the overall film as it should have some relation to the storyline.

My group and I had a difficult time thinking of some film titles that stood out to us. We knew we wanted to link the title to OCD somehow since that is a major aspect of our film.

                                                      

Some ideas we had included:
          -Perfect Disaster
          -Obsessed
          -Stuck on Repeat
          -The Drive
          -The Driver
          -Disruption

All of these possible titles were ones we thought linked to OCD in one way or another. We really wanted the title to reflect the character, location or situation. For example, "Perfect Disaster" was an idea thought of since the effect of OCD can be the need for symmetry, yet we wanted to show how the main character ends up getting kidnapped, leading the overall story into a disaster for the character. Another example would be "The Driver". This is due to the fact that his OCD would drive him insane due to the constant repetition of things going through his head.

Our number one choice right now is “Ninety” with a degree symbol. This helps reflect the character’s OCD as everything needs to be symmetrical. Within math, students learn about right angles and how they are always straight. As we bounced ideas off each other, this was the one that really stuck out to us as it still represents the character. This is an example of how we would like it to look:

                                               

The font is a major aspect of the title as well. The font has to work along side of the storyline. Therefore, we chose to use a really straight edged font since it represents the character’s OCD of wanting symmetry. We got the idea from the "First Man” movie title as it also follows a straight, thin font style.

                                                

We are about 98% sure we have decided on our film title, but as always, I’ll keep you guys updated! Be sure to let me know what you think of our possible film title in the comments below!
