Consideration of Film Titles

The first impression anybody gets of a film, is the films title, therefore it is key to gain success for us to have a good, catchy and exciting film title. Below are some ideas we have for our film title and the possitives and negatives of them.

Hero in your field:
Pros:
  • To the point
  • Get the jist of film
  • Good play on words
Cons:
  • Cheesy
  • Not short and snappy
  • Not very enticing
Super-wannabes:
Pros:
  • Get the jist of film
  • Describes the characters
  • Fairly short
  • Quite comedic and entising
Cons:
  • Gives way too much
  • Targets female audience more than male and we want more male audience 

RuralSuperheroes:
Pros:
  • To the point
  • Short and snappy
  • Get the jist of the film
  • Shows our specific type of comedy (rural)
  • Looks and sounds entising
  • Seems exctitng
  • Doesn't give too much away
  • Attracts all comedy audience types
Cons:
  • Urban city people maybe put off by the 'rural' as they think it would not apply to them
  • Is potentially cliché

Recreation:
Pros:
  • Seems sophisticated
  • Links to plotline 
  • Makes the audience question what the film is about 
Cons:
  • Doesn't necessarily suit comedy genre
  • May be too vague in regards to the main content of the film

Overall we have chosen to go for the title 'RuralSuperheroes' as it is a clear depiction of the type of genre, (rural comedy) doesn't give too much of the storyline away whilst still giving the general jist of things, but still makes the audience question what the film is about.
