Choosing a Title

 Hey Cambridge!! This week's blog posts are going to be fun! Today, we are going to talk about the title for my film opening. It was a little hard choosing the most suitable one, but we have come to a conclusion. I mentioned the name, "Mendacious" in my blog post from last week, but today my goal is to go further into depth to overall explain why my group and I chose this title, as well as the other titles that we were considering.

Why? 

The reason why we decided on this specific title, is because mendacious means not telling the truth, or lying. We wanted to make the title is something that had significance to what our plot REALLY meant. Omer was interested in naming our opening something that was one word. As soon as she said that, I agreed because I believe that films titled with one word are often cool-looking (...If that makes sense...). Also, the word "mendacious" foreshadows the plot of the film. It does this because later on in the movie, the audience would find out that Ben was lying all along.

Options that were considered:

-More Than a Witness

-On the Run

-The Hidden Truth

All of these are title options that my group and I were considering. We thought of these titles before we found out that they were already used in a movie. I know that doesn't necessarily mean that we can't use that title, but my group and I wanted something a little more original. Overall, we preferred "Mendacious" more.
