Title

   The importance of a movie's title is the name representing the film as a whole. Movie titles create more inspiration for movie ideas. We should've thought about the movie title earlier but we thought developing the character first would be more important. The title for our film that we came up with is "Rae". Our main character's name is Rachel (character and actual actress). The actress playing Rachel grew up being called by her nickname "Rae", so we decided to name it after that. Another thing that made me like the title is that the word "ray" exemplifies a ray of sunlight, in my own thoughts, which represents our main character's persona. She's a "ray of light" who shines on stage when she tries to make her dream a reality.

   Naming a movie after the main character really puts the spotlight on that person. This is another reason we chose to choose this title. I feel that making it her nickname really makes it so special and expresses the importance of our character. For example, the movie Napoleon Dynamite is literally named after the main character Napoleon Dynamite. It's quite the witty name for such a witty movie. This movie follows and focuses on Napoleon, a nerdy kid in high school, in which you sit back and watch his life play out. It's hilarious and you have a rather weird connection with the main character. Since the title is his name, you already can predict that the movie is going to be about this particular guy.

Another movie that the plot surrounds the person the title displays is the film Rocky. A fighter named Rocky is what the movie is about. Throughout this film, you watch Rocky's fighting skills progress and watch him get better and better. Although I've never seen this film, I can tell what the film is going to be about because of the title. I can predict that the movie's focus is going to be on this man and the title gives me a reason to think that he is important. 

Many other movies are named after the main character so that the audience knows before, during, and after watching the film, that this character is the principal idea of what the plot is about. I am going to focus to express that my character is the main idea of the movie through my project.
