The Package: I thought of this title because of the whole basis around the plot is what is actually inside the package (a photograph of the other spies) this title also does not give much away about the storyline or the characters involved. I feel that this title is a little bit too simple to be proffessional as I feel that if I used it it would look like I had not spent much time on the name of the film as I had on drawing the storyboards or the script. I want to use a title that is not too long but not too short at the same time and I feel that two words is too short.
Life, death And Other Consequences: I really like this title as it is one of those titles that does and doesn't match my short film. The reason it does match is because the spies are all trying to kill each other to live and in the end the boss pays the consequences for betraying them. The reason it doesn't match is because the title does not give the film a western feel. I feel that its a good idea to use this title as it does not give away much detail about the plot to the audience and allows them to try and think what the film is about before they see it. I think letting the audience try and predict what a film is about by a title is important as it gives directors to either live up to expectations or to shock audiences.
An Average Day: This is my least favourite title however it is probrably the best fitting for the short film, I don't like this title because I feel it is to plain and not interesting. The reason this title fits so well is because the idea is that what the spies are doing (going out killing each other) is exactly what an average day is for them. I coud possibly work on this title as I feel that it does have potential if I expanded it a little bit more although this is quite hard to do, however I could use words that stand out such as unexpected to interest the audience more. I feel that the title is a very important part of a film as I think that if the audience aren't interested in a title they already make judgment on the film without watching a trailer.
Overall: My favourite Title would have to be: life,death and other consequences. I like this title as it is bold but yet slightly confusing at the same time. This is an excellent thing as it will slightly baffel the audience and make them want to watch the film to fully understand the meaning of the title. The only thing I would have possibly changed would possibly turning the title a little bit more informal and rather using the , and the and I was tempted to use Life Death Other Consequences. However this did not quite fit with thengenre as other action films have not done this.
