Film titles is one factor that can act as a deciding point for people as to whether they should watch a film or not, for example, the film called Gattaca starring Jude Law is one which would immediately draw the attention of anyone who has a fondness for science, and in particular, genetics. This film title is especially very effective as it is based on the initials of the four DNA nitrogenous bases - guanine, adenine, thymine and cytosine.
In order to help create an enticing, professional sounding film title, we decided to research into titles, it was then that we found films are named after places, people, something belonging to someone or an event that the film revolves around.
Films named after places which we looked at are as follows...
- The Town
- District 9
- Shutter Island
- Jurassic Park
- Manhattan
Films named after people...
- The Godfather
- The Dark Knight
- Gladiator
- Robin Hood
- Amelie
Films named after something belonging to someone...
- Schindler's List
- The King's Speech
- Howl's Moving Castle
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
- Charlie's Angels
Films named after an event...
- Finding Nemo
- The Holiday
- The Conjuring
- World War Z
- The Hunger Games
Upon a lot of thought we realise that naming our film after the place at which we are filming will be effective as the name Queensdown Warren stands out from any other thriller film title, in this sense it is unique. Furthermore, the name contains anagrams such as war, down and queen which all add to reinforce what our film is going to be about and it's themes. The only disadvantage my group and I can think of is the length of our title, it is not as short as Eden Lake.
However, we all came to a mutual decision that Queensdown Warren sounds like a thriller and sticks in the mind.
