Planning - Final Decision On Film Title

After mind mapping all our ideas for a film title, we have narrowed it down to three film titles that we feel are the best and have a clever meaning behind each one and therefore would make a successful title.


D.I.D You?
This title is based on one of the main plots in our film, the fact that our main character suffers trauma in her life, which leads to her development of Dissociative Identity Disorder' which is what ultimately leads to the twist in our film and the devastating end for our character.
By abbreviating this disorder, we get the word Did. This leads to questions which the audience will ask concerning the title 'Did You?', they will be curious about who did what, and whether they did anything, thus making them want to go and watch the film to answer these questions. The overall idea of 'Did You?' is important in our film as we wonder whether the baby was killed, did someone kill the baby and finally did the mother kill her baby?  




Miss-Understood
This is play on the word misunderstood, we want to convey the same connotations in that she is not being understood or believed by those around her that her baby has been killed. This is crucial to the plot of the film as it takes a while for her to convince anyone that it was not natural causes, however still no trace of murder can be found although she continues to believe it is true, which continues the idea of her being misunderstood. The way in which this title would be spelled would be without the normal single 's' but instead with double 's' to change it to Miss, this would refer to the main character in our film who is a woman. 




Rock-a-Bye-Baby
This title is a play on the well known nursery rhyme 'rock a bye baby'. We did research into this before considering this as a option to ensure that there was not copyright attached to this title and that we could use it. We found that this song was in the public domain where the intellectual property rights have expired and therefore becomes 'publicly available' to use by members of the public. This title would emphasis on the word 'Bye' as the main character has lost her baby due to what appears to be cot death and therefore she has to say goodbye to her child and let it go. However she is struggling to do this, and therefore links this idea of the big part concerning the baby and the mothers obsession with how the baby die and therefore she can't say 'bye' until she knows the truth.
