Title

Coming up with the title of our film proved to be quite challenging. The process of brainstorming ideas was something that carried on throughout the filming process, as we wanted to make sure we chose the perfect title to fit our film.

As the film changed gradually over the brainstorming process, this meant that ideas for the title of the film had to change, too. To begin with, our ideas were a medical based thriller. We had taken inspiration from the popular TV programmes Casualty and Holby City for our title, and we came up with the title ‘Pulse’ to represent a life line and a heart beating. Along the same lines, we came up with ‘Beat’ and ‘Beaten’, which not only represent a heart beat, but also give an insight into a possible narrative point, that one of the characters would get abused. 

Here is a photo of some of our title brainstorming:

As our ideas progressed, our narrative turned more towards a crime thriller. Our ideas formed for this genre of thriller after watching some crime thrillers such as ‘Broadchurch’ and ‘The Missing’ as we found these really interesting. We felt this genre of thriller would be more interesting to create than a medical thriller. However, this meant that the previous titles we had come up with were not useful to us anymore. 

We carried on brainstorming ideas with our newly acquired narrative, but nothing we came up with seemed right to us. Then, we came about the title ‘Jealousy’ and felt that it fitted our film, and the narrative, perfectly. We only came up with the idea of calling our film ‘Jealousy’ when we had chosen our music. When choosing the music, we knew that the narrative was based on the jealousy in the love triangle between Josh, Hannah and Jasmine, so we wanted s apiece to reflect this. Then, when we came across ‘Jealousy’ by Frankie Miller, we immediately had the idea that we should use that track, but also, that we should name our thriller ‘Jealousy’. Finally we had found a title that we thought suited our film.
