Title Research and Evaluation

Title Research and Evaluation 

Initial ideas 


Retribution
Positives 
- Definition is appropriate to our story line as retribution has connotations of revenge and vengeance for someone who has committed a criminal act. This fits well with our storyline because the cab driver is committing a criminal act for revenge, and therefore retribution sums up our plot line
-Short and to the point name 
Negatives
-Can have multiple meanings and some people may not be clear on what retribution means
-Isn't particularly fitting to the plot line of our story and their are titles that will express this better

Hail
Positives
- Definition is appropriate to our storyline because it is set in a taxi, and Hail has connotations of hailing down a taxi. 
-It also associates with bad weather which often is a convention of the horror genre.
-Short and to the point name
-Easy to understand 
-Original idea
Negatives
-Can be misunderstood that the film has something to do with weather





Black Cab
Positives 
-Easy to understand
-Potray's what our film is about instantly 
-Connotations of London and Black cab which is the setting of our film opening
Negatives
-Not very original 
-Doesn't really state what the film is about, as is simply just stating a type of vehicle





Evaluation of initial ideas

1. Retribution should not be used as the name for our film opening because viewers could potentially be confused by the fact that it has multiple meanings.
2. Retribution also isn't fitting to the part of our storyline that is shown in our film opening
3.Black cab shouldn't be used because its not original and doesn't state what that film is about 
4. The chosen name for our film opening should be HAIL. After analysing our initial ideas hail seems like the most fitting because the definition is appropriate for our storyline, it gives off conventions of the horror genre, its easy to understand, an original idea and perfect for our film opening.
