The title of the film is a very important aspect of movies. This is because it is generally the first thing the potential audience sees and if the movie has a bad title, people would not want to see it. The film title generally includes some relation to the actual film, from an aspect of the characters to something significant about the location, or if it reflects the films narrative.
Because of the significance of the title, we need to choose carefully so that we grab the attention of the potential audience so that they eventually watch the film.
Our film is a thriller with the sub-genre of crime because of the kidnapping. this means that it would be a good idea to include an aspect of crime or kidnapping into the film title in order to get our audience's attention. During our opening sequence, one of the main features is a dream so we have decided to base our title around this.
some ideas we have had include:
"the dream"
"the midnight thief"
"dream-like-reality"
We have decided that Dream-Like-Reality is the best choice for our film title because it tells the audience that dreams are a factor of our movie while it is still withholds information for the actual film. Also, because of the dashes in the title, it gives the feeling of confusion because the dream and the reality are closely linked in the title and therefore, the same in the movie. We have decided to not use the other ideas because the first one, 'the dream', we feel doesn't give enough information about the film whereas, 'the midnight thief' gives away too much by including midnight, which relates to sleeping and dreams, and thief which relates to the kidnapping.
