Film Title

The title of any production is important in conveying the particular genre and ideology behind the film. We decided to think of a title after we had planned the storyline of our teaser trailer so that we could specifically link the film to its title. As our film contains the journey of parents trying to find their abducted child, we decided that we wanted our title to be linked to a familiar aspect of childhood that the audience could relate to. We explored various nursery rhymes, childhood stories and games to try and find a suitable title that was not already a feature film.

We firstly looked at the story of Little Red Riding Hood, as we envisaged our vulnerable character wearing a red coat. As a group we decided that "Little Red" would be a suitable title for our film, unfortunately, this title was already taken by a film released 2000.

As the editing process began, the demand for a appropriate title grew. We needed to find a title in order to apply our desired graphics within our trailer and also to our ancillary projects. We focused more on the lines within popular nursery rhymes and childhood games to find our title. "Hide and Seek" stood out to us, as it linked with the 'missing' aspect of our plot. Yet again, this title was taken by another production. Other brief titles we considered and then dismissed were "Rock-a-bye Baby", "Snatched" and "Taken".

After finding the "Monday's Child" poem, we were particularly drawn to Wednesday's Child as we realised the potential of using "Wednesday's Child is full of woe" as a possible tagline. We checked the Internet Movie Data Base (http://www.imdb.com/) to see if "Wednesday's Child" was an existing production, and after discovering it wasn't, we decided that "Wednesday's Child" would be the title of our film.
