Film Name and Titles

There are 5 possible names for our film, these are:

- Doppelganger
- Dissension
- Violative
- Antipode
- Hostile
- Paradox
- Repugnant
- Vis-รก-vis
- Ornery

As a group we decided to have 'violative hostile' as our Film Name.
This is because the person in the film has a split-personality disorder which means that a single person can present themselves as two different people at different times. The words 'violative' and 'hostile' mean the same thing as if they were one person but present themselves as a different word. we also chose these words as violative looks like violent and hostile looks like hostage. these are also words that could be linked with our film. This is because the man seen in the film is actually violent and he appears to be kept hostage in some places.

Approximately 2/3 of the people who answered my questionnaire prefer to see titles of an opening scene over a black screen instead of action. Going back to the film deconstructions of the opening scenes from both; 'Halloween and Dawn of the Dead' I did previously, the titles from both film's are shown over a black screen and not action. Therefore when it comes to adding in the titles for our opening scene they will be shown over a black screen.

85% of the people who answered my questionnaire prefer the colour 'red' and feel it would be most appropriate colour for the titles of a film with the genre; 'horror.' However another member from my group included a similar question in their audience questionnaire, resulting in a different outcome. The preferred colour chosen for the titles for a horror film was: 'white.' The contrast in results created problems between the group because we all wanted to please an audience. The solution to this problem was that we are going to use both colours for the titles for our opening scene.

We have decided to have titles on a black scene between having action and have a 'title, action, title, action' set-up for the opening of our film. The titles we are going to include will be the main people that helped with the making of the film as well as the people that acted in the film.
