During discussion, my group and I had come across many potential titles that we could have for our film. After a number of ideas, we eventually came to the final decision that our film would be called 'Metropolitan'. We chose this as it stood out above all previous names for titles, metropolitan (meaning an important state or colony) would stand out and match the colossal scale of our films story and how the events in the film could shape a new society or metropolis.
Other potential names for our film:
1st Option - 2027 - This was one of our first ideas, it would represent the year in which the events of the film would take place. We thought that this title would be interesting as the audiences would be interested and wondering why the date is significant, therefore they would be drawn into seeing the film to find out more about what would happen in the film.
2nd Option - *The name of the main character*
We never chose a name for the main character of our piece, we believe that it added to the mystery of the character and the mysterious secrets kept from the audience throughout the film. Therefore, the choice to name the film after the characters name proved irrelevant in the end. I also believe that this is a very mainstream title as it is commonly used in a lot of action films (John Wick, Jack Reacher etc), our group thought that it would be inevitably uncreative and boring.
The title 'Metropolitan' was decided after researching into names and stumbling across the film Metropolis, which follows a similar story to our own. They are similar words with similar meaning and we thought it fit perfectly with the story and themes of our piece.
