Film Title Ideas

In today’s lesson we came up with a list of Movie name ideas:

- Downfall
- Manic Water
- Shallow Water
- Red Tide
- Black Tide
- Murky Water

 We then passed this list round the room on a tally chart for people to vote on their favourite, to see which titles would be most popular. This worked well because the people in our class are the same age as our target audience (teenagers and young adults) and therefore we got a clear representative of what our chosen audience like. The title which came up most popular was 'Shallow Water'.
The feedback we received:

"It's simple and intriguing name with a catchy ring to it."


"It tells the audience it's a water related film - something everyone is familiar with and therefore becomes a lot more scary"

"The idea of shallow water is creepy and gives a sense that someone/thing may be lurking in it"

Storyboard Roughs

Storyline Finally

Although taking a while to decide, we have come up with a rough idea on our story line following the theme of number 4 shown on the Facebook note.
- 'Jane' is washed up onto a beach, no idea who she is, and know idea how she got there. deranged and crazy she sets out to find who did this to her, killing whoever gets in her way.' A basic storyline, however we plan to include a twist somewhere to add an exciting and intriguing element to the trailer to tease the audience and leave them wanting more.
Time for storyboards.

Facebook Feedback

This week me and Colleen posted 4 storyline ideas on a Facebook note so that we could get some feedback from our target audience on what storyline they liked.
See Below:

We thought Facebook was a good place to get opinions as the majority of people on their are students around our age range. This is who we want our film to appeal to and thought they would give us an honest opinion. The majority of feedback we got was positive, we found that they mostly liked number 1 & 4.


Comments:
"I like the first one the best :) but you could do it a bit like paranormal activity - ish, like instead of her actually coming back, bad things could happen to the student, or the student could unwillingly do bad things to other people, like her friends. Or number 2, instead of the dead person coming back, someone else who knew the girl could do the killing it'd make the film more realistic."

"I like number four the best, looks intriguing :)"

"I think number four is the best because its an original and unique idea. Im excited to see the story unfold and the synopsis makes me want to see more"


"Number 2"
