Our Film Title

INTERFERENCE
This is the title we have chosen for our film as we feel it is relevant to our whole film storyline and it is quite memorable. It is quite a short title and doesn't give much away, this gives it a mysterious effect. Once people have seen the opening they will have an understanding of why we chose this as the title. The title adds a certain amount of tension to the film because people will know something must go wrong because a process or something will be interfered with. It is important that a film title makes our audience picture what could happen or have their suspicions about what could happen. It might help them to imagine what their perfect movie for that title would be. The movie title is the first feature of the film that the viewer will notice therefore, it will set up there expectations of the film meaning it needs to have appositive effect on them. The movie title is also a marketing tool used to promote the film, as a result of this we would need to have a relatable, intriguing title.
