Title Research

Many thriller films fall victim to being given in many opinion's awful name titles. Having a poor title can really put people back from seeing a movie especially when from a low budget production company such as ourselves. This is why rather than think up a name for our film ourselves and run the risk of an awful name that we were too blind to see we decided to do a questionaire where we showed people out thriller opening and got their suggestions on what we should call the film. After the questionnaire the names suggested were as followed;

-Night Shift
-The Factory
-Lights Out
-The Chosen
-In The Shadows
-Betrayal
-The Phantom of the Factory
-The Hammer

Instantly we could see some ideas that were strong so we compiled a list of these names and passed round the list and the previous viewers ticked which name they thought was the strongest of the bunch. With names such as "Lights Out" and "Betrayal" getting a few votes, but there was a clear title that got the most votes, this was "Night Shift" that had just under 70% of the vote. It was obvious to us that with such as huge percentage of the public vote "Night Shift" was the new name for our thriller.
