PRODUCTION LOG| 11.02.14| DEVISING OUR FILM TITLE

Today we worked on devising our film title. Because this film opening is only 2 minutes long, we wanted to:

  • Convey the theme of the movie (Thriller)
  • Convey the key ideas
  • Intrigue the audiences through the mystery of the movie
  • Tap into the inter-textual knowledge shared through cultural codes (by using images that the audience is familiar with)

Ideas:

  • DNP
  • The DNP network
  • The Serpents' Sting
We chose the name 'The Serpents' Sting' because of the connotations in which snakes are used. They have been used for many things, evil, betrayal and even medecine. The sting is the medicine itself which has poisoned the victim.

Snakes are often associated with both good and evil but they are especially associated with evil because of the symbolism of the devil in which they are associated with in the story of Adam and Eve. They are also associated with rebirth, guardianship, poison, vindictiveness and fertility.
