These last few days I’ve noticed as students are about to upload their movies ….that the “title’ of the film is the last thing on students minds…
It got me thinking that the “Title” of one’s film is a really powerful “hook” .
The naming of a film can allure audiences and cleverly condense the essence of a story…all in one..
Consider this random list of 1930s films made in Shanghai…
I wish I had the resources to provide the links to these fabulous sounding movies…. what an untapped gold mine !
Shanghai Express
Shanghaiied lovers
Shanghai Bond
Streets of Shanghai
Shanghai lady
Shanghai Rose
Ship from Shanghai
Shanghai madness
Shanghai shipmates
Daughter of Shanghai
Shanghai Alibi
Half way to Shanghai
Shanghaied love
Boat to Shanghai
All film titles hint mysteriously of a city few in the West had hardly heard of, nor probably even knew existed in those days; and yet each variation of “Shanghai’ suggests a story line or type of movie: adventure, romance, mystery..
Consider some of the greatest book titles ever written for children
“Harold and the purple crayon”
All titles are unusual and interesting; they also cleverly sum up the story…
Max mets the Wild things…
Sam finally convinces the Old guy to try Green eggs and ham
The secret garden is just that; just one of many secrets held back for a long time.
Go Harold! How lucky he is to own a “purple” crayon….

It’s worth taking the time to brainstorm with your film crew and conduct a couple of lively discussions to consider a “title’ worthy that befits your work.
