Deciding on The Film Title

When deciding on the title for our film opening we thought about the contents of our opening. We came up with a whole page of possible names but the main ones were as followed; Daze, Daisy, Dais, Unknown, The Lost Abduction. Daze, Daisy and Dais were all really a play on words, we knew we would be calling the main character Daisy and we knew that she'd be in a dazed state in the cellar so we played around with the words. However, we realised that that someone is either 'in a daze' or 'dazed' so we would have to call is 'Dazed' to ensure the context was correct. I really liked the idea of calling it 'Dais' because it gives the film a more personal touch because it would've been the nickname of the girl, however, we realised that using a word that is not grammatically correct could be an issue so because on the uncertainty we ruled that idea out. We found out that Unknown was already a title to a film that was released recently so we did not want to use that incase audiences drew similarities between the two. So we were down to Daisy and The Lost Abduction and all of the group agreed that we preferred the name Daisy. We also asked other members of our class which seemed more appealing and the generalised comment we received was that 'The Lost Abduction' sounds like the film would just be an ordinary crime/thriller film so it wouldn't appeal to them whereas Daisy is quite an unusual title. Using the victims name, which is quite an innocent name, intrigued them. After considering all factors the group decided to name the film Daisy.
