Research and Planning: Production Title Planning - Name Ideas


For our trailer we have to feature our own production titles. After researching into different names we came up with these 10 ideas.

Venus Productions - we thought this name would be suitable because many of the existing titles all related to the sky or universe. However, we concluded that people often associate the planet Venus with women which is not concept for our film.

Infinity Productions - this name went with the concept of being limitless which makes our company seem as if we have no limits to what we can do. The name itself is quite catchy and has a futuristic feel to it.

Mystery Productions - we then thought of a name that would be immediately associated with the genre of the films, thriller. Mystery is often something that people would connect with thriller movies, therefore we thought it would well. However, we thought it was too cliche and not professional enough.

Swift Productions - when researching into existing production companies we found that Warner Bros is named after a surname of the founders of the company. So we liked the idea of it being named after someone, we thought of the singer Taylor Swift and thought the name Swift had a ring to it.

Parallel Productions - when thinking about limitless we came up with this idea because parallel lines never meet and is therefore endless. Parallel could be a metaphor for the link between the audience watching and the film.

Watch Productions - this idea came from the thought of the audience simply watching the film. However, this is, again, not professional enough and seems amateur.

Perplexity Production - we looked up on a thesaurus the word thriller to get more ideas, we liked the sound of it because it sounds quite sophisticated and it has alliteration which is always good for the audience to remember. Although it is related to thriller, it's not sharp enough to stay in the audience's mind.

Riddler Productions - this was another word on the thesaurus. The reason we used it was because a thriller movie will sometimes have riddles in it which will challenge the audience.

Sphinx Productions - when we researched into production companies, the company Tristar has a mythical horse as it's logo. This made us think of another mythical creature which is called a Sphinx. This is a creature which bares a riddle which is to be solved for it to go away. We thought that this went well with the thriller genre. However, it may not go well with the themes of our film because mythical creatures are often in fantasy films.

Starlight Productions - we thought this of this name, when thinking of the universe again. The name has quite a ring to it, and goes well against other big companies such as Universal.
