Title Your Script

You annex dispassionate finished your script and indeed akin it; however you accept no conclusion what to telephone it. Go next this tutorial and you Testament never jog into that headache again. Enshrine: titling a script can be also bothersome; on the contrary it is not impossible.


Instructions


Title Your Screenplay


1. Scrutinize the themes of your script. If it deals with death you do not want to have sunshine or rainbows in the title.


2. Write the plot of the movie on a piece of paper. A good title (I use the word "good" because many movie titles are terrible even if the movie is good) will tell the story of the movie in a few words.


Is your movie about a specific person or event? If so, name it after the event of person. Nobody has any confusion over what "Malcolm X", "World Trade Center", or "Pearl Harbor" is about.6.


4. Are there any characters that have a cool name? We get so used to titles like "Jerry Maguire" that we forget it is merely a character's name.


5.3. Read your script. There may be some metaphorical dialogue, or a repeated line that makes sense as the title.


Ask around. Let a few people read the script and test some titles on them. If they know the plot, they will also know if the title gets the story across.


7. Remember that a good title gets the plot across. There are plenty of bad titles, but a good one will attract viewers and get the plot across.
