A Name

Every Short Film has a name. The name given to a film/short film will describe briefly the entire film in just a few words. After looking at a range of short films the majority of names are just 1 word. This not only fits the whole idea that this film is short like the title, but also keeps it simple, like shorts films are also. After briefly telling my members of my audience what my short film is about, I gave them a few names for this short film and asked which they felt suited this short film the best. The tally worked out to be:

Behind Closed Doors - 2
Sketch - 6
The Book - 0
Brought to Life - 1
Imagine - 1
Daydream - 1

Overall, Sketch had the most votes and I did prefer this name and Imagine but wanted to test a range of titles to see how the audience thought it would fit with my short film. The name Sketch fits with the idea that this girl sketches her characters to life, and without sketching these characters there would never be anyway for the characters to help her, so its the biggest turning point within the short film. Sketch also fits in with other short film titles as many have 1 word title. Later on I will experiment with different fonts and styles that could match the theme of my short film and get feedback from my peers and audience on their opinion.
