Title Ideas

When picking a title for a film it is important that you make the genre of the film clear and advertise the unique selling point. So the film it was important to think of a title which tied together the fact that it was a horror film and that the movie was set in an abandoned theatre. Some of the titles we came up with were;

-Final Curtain Call

-Kill The Lights

-The Cherub Theatre

There are a couple of commonly used conventions in horror movie titles. One of which is using a specific date in the title. For example Halloween, Friday the 13th and 28 days later. After taking this into careful consideration we came up with a couple more title ideas which included dates;

-Final Show

-Play Date

-Closing Night

to make the film seem a little bit more connected to the theatre in a less obvious way we started to think of commonly used phrases and sayings which you might hear in a theatre to incorporate into our title. This would link to a unique selling point perfectly. Our target audience is also around the age of aspiring young actors who will connect with a title like this. Some of these included;

-Break A Leg

-Stage Fright

-Curtain Call

in the end we decided that Stage Fright best suited our film trailer. This is because the word 'Fright' would appeal to a horror movie fans and makes the genre of the film quite clear. The word 'Stage' relates to our USP and advertises our theatrical setting. The film title is a phrase which is commonly used by actors. It doesn't have a date on it but we think it related to our film and our target audience a lot more.
