Ideas: Names

Film Title

As the narrative is influenced by sixth form life I will also create a title that relates to this. As she has come to be possessed through her inquisitive nature and her want to do well I could call it A*  as this is what she is aspiring to get so it will link directly to the narrative making it more memorable. However this doesn't sound very horrifying and might be seen as kind of annoying by students who are stressing themselves to get A*'s themselves.

Another name I thought of was Knowledge as it implies that as humans we do not have the knowledge to overcome this satanic force which is a very big fear. It is the fear of the unknown so by insinuating this film will provide them with the knowledge the audience may feel more encourage to see it.

Dedication is another possibility as it poses the threat that even if you work hard and are a good person you can still be corrupted eradicating the idea that good conquers over evil. It also applies to the narrative as the reason the main character was possessed was because she was so dedicated to her work this will make the title more memorable causing more to go and see it. Dedicated could also be used as it is past tense suggesting that the main character's personality no longer exists

Tag line


She's above average - This relates to school life as this is seen on school reports, ectera, emphasising the narrative being related to school life and that something is wrong with the girl.

What would you give up to achieve success? - Using a rhetorical question directly involves the audience so it will make them feel personally threatened and think about the narrative to a more personal level as they would have to give up something in order to achieve success such as time or social events meaning they are already evaluating how far they would go.

She knows too much - This tag line will provoke the audience as they will want to know what it is that she knows that they don't. It also makes the knowledge seem forbidden which automatically makes the audience want to find out even more as it becomes more interesting.



Film magazine name

Updated - This implies that the magazine is up to date with what is relevant meaning the audience will be more attracted to it because they will want to know about current popular films. However this name would have to be for a generalised genre of film magazine because it doesn't have any relation to horror films. Also as we are in the digital era it will appeal to the target audience in the sense that they want to have all their technology, fashion and life up to date. They will see this magazine as a computer sees an update that needs to be performed every once in a while.

Riot - This connotes feelings of excitement and chaos. It suggests that the things featured in the magazine are a big deal and may even cause riots if they are stopped or unavailable attracting the audience as they think they are guaranteed something that will satisfy their needs if they read it. This will appeal to a male audience however while my target audience is female. It is short and snappy so will be easy to remember . It will as lo be able to create a font that relates to the meaning of the word.

Feared - This suggests that the magazine will contain material that will scare the audience. This will appeal to my target audience as they enjoy watching horror films. So by the title insinuating this from the get go the audience will be attracted to the feeling that they have found something to satisfy their needs with such ease.
