The unconventional truth...

When thinking of a name for our Film Noir, we knew that we needed to in some way have it linked towards the secrecy and deceit that our plot is based upon. We were having a discussion about how we felt that we needed the word 'truth' in our title as it gave a subtle hint towards our storyline yet without giving to much away.

After brainstorming a few ideas, I came up with the idea of naming our film 'The unconventional truth'. The rest of the group members agreed that it was a good name as it fitted in with our plot yet also left a bit of imagination to the audience.

I thought of the name as I was trying to think of a word that described the idea of hiding the truth and secrecy. The word unconventional is another way of interperating the mysterious, distinct and unorthodox plot in which our film involves with its hidden enigma codes and subtle hints towards the final scene. It made sense as it linked with the idea of the unknown and not knowing what to expect, yet by then adding in the word 'truth' at the end it shows the idea of not knowing what is going to happen and how everything is not perhaps as it first may seem.

The wording itself for our film title 'The unconventional truth' we felt also had a nice rhythm to it and has a sort of darkness behind it that no one can understand until they watch the film.

We then realised we needed to think of a short punch line in which linked to our newly agreed upon film title and the storyline itself. After mapping out some possible ideas, Rosy came up with the slogan "Truth was in his heart, tragedy was in her mind". We all imediately agreed upon this as we felt it had all the perfect ingrediants for the perfect punch line; it was neither too short nor too long, it included the characterisation of both the main characters of Scarlett and Jake, the line itself linked in with both the title and plot of our film and we felt would leave the audience with a sense of curiousty as they thought about what the twist and contrasting 'his and her' emotions could represent.
