3/27 - FILM NAME
After weeks and weeks of thinking, I think I have finally come up with a film name. First, I want to take you through the process in which I decided on this name.
Honestly, I did not think that the title and title design would be the thing that I was stuck on the most. For so long I never had a clear idea of what title I should give my film. I was thinking of the most cringiest and random titles like "the road to success", "will-power", "again". I couldn't really think of a fitting name; I then decided to do some research and attempt to acquire the same mindset as a title designer.
This video introduced me to Dan Perri, he created the titles of movies like "Star Wars", "The Exorcist", and "Raging Bull". In this video, he took me through different projects he's done and how he approached them. He said something along the lines of "The film title should be what the movie is going to be about, and what the audience should expect from the film", the second part of that statement opened my third eye. My film title should be the main focus of the story, I want the audience to see the title and wonder what the movie would be about. The main focus of my film is Jim, so why shouldn't I name my film "Jim"?
This idea came to mind and immediately I thought it was uncreative, but at the end of the day, simple character titles aren't usually a bad route. It has also worked for many other successful films, here are some examples.
Seems Pretty Justified to have the title as my main character. After all, this movie is solely centered on Jim, the film will focus on his struggles and triumphs as an actor and as a person. The design of the title isn't going to be any complex or a font that's too "out there". In another post, I will reveal my title design as well as how the credits would roll on film.
Recommendation:
I had just finished watching the movie "Baby Driver", and it was one of the most thrilling rides I've ever experienced. It follows a story of a boy orphan named "Baby' as he works as a getaway driver for robbers and top-class criminals. The movie has one of the best opening scenes I've ever laid eyes on and the sound mixing, and editing is pure perfection; all of it leads to a brilliant film that's master-crafted and enjoyable.
