The document discusses potential film title ideas for a film about a mentally unstable orphan girl. The group proposes three titles: "Demented", "Raised by the Voices", and "Least Expected". Audience feedback on the titles is gathered, with some preferring "Demented" for its clarity and "Least Expected" for its intrigue. However, the group ultimately decides on "Raised by the Voices" as the title since it most intriguingly introduces the unseen force controlling the girl.

2. Titles
Our first film title idea is
‘Demented’. This would
immediately show the audience
that the film would be based
around a character losing control
and behaving irrationally due to
anger, distress, or excitement.
Lastly this is a scary subject which
could be suspenseful as well as
some audience members being
able to relate knowing people
who act this way.
One of our second ideas would be the title ‘Raised by the voices’. We
have added a scene where there are faint voices getting louder which taunt the
girl. As she is an orphan her main source of help would be her mind and as she
is not stable this would be dangerous. She would also have been raised by the
voices as they are a part of her life she cant control meaning they are also
taking over her life and actions.
Our last film title name
is called ‘Least
Expected’
This links back to the
fact she is a lonely
orphan looking for a
family. She is also 16
years old meaning
society would not
expect her to murder
as she will be doing in
the film. Our film story
also goes on to
demonstrate her life
living with this
condition as she is not
viewed as dangerous
since she blends into
society as she is
deceiving.
3. AUDIENCE FEED BACK
One of the main advice we received from our title our podcasts from out audience is that
the title ‘Raised by the voices’ is very long and the audience would get lost by the title
although it clearly explains that the protagonist is being controlled by an unknown power.
One of the audience feedback was that the most intriguing title is ‘Least Expected’ as in
only two words it gives the audience a brief introduction to the characters as they can
imply that one of the main characters will have an innocent appearance(podcast 1).
On the other hand one of the audience have stated that ‘Least Expected’ does not link back
to a thriller film. Two of the audience members have also said that in their opinion
‘Demented’ has a clear definition behind it and would clearly demonstrate that the title
sequence would be linked to an illness or focus around a character dealing with mental
problems which we would learn through the film.
4. FINAL TITLE IDEA
• As a group we have decided that we will be calling our film ’Raised by the voices as it’s
the most intriguing name. We also like the idea that we are clearly introducing the
force that has been controlling the young orphan since she can remember.
• As many of the audience liked the title although it was said to be too long we have
chosen to stick with it and not shorten it to ‘The Voices’ as we want to demonstrate
and make the movie relatable to someone who has suffered with a mental problem or
someone who knows someone with a mental problem as many people find their
conscience an on going problem they can not control.
• The last reason as to why we have chosen this title is because it gives the audience
curiosity to find out what voices the title is referring to as well as how and who has
been dealing with them.
