Screenwriting : Titles.... Titles... Titles... by Molly Kerr

Attack Boris. The Dog. Cookie planets & Soymilk Rings. Cookie Commets & Chocolate Bars. The Planet! Boris. The Soymilky way. G: The Emotional String. Pluto is filled with nougat. Nougat! The planets core. My dog boris; he eats space. Nothing? Worse? ... Better? Sirob Sirob! Boris: He ran away to space.

I vote for this title "THE PLANET OR THE CHOCOLATE BAR"

White Dwarf. He thinks he's a star (narcissistic) but he's actually a failure - collapsed...

PS A White Dwarf is also known as a degenerate star once collapsed... So our "hero" is a degenerate failed star, thus I call him White Dwarf.

I like the "Better worse or nothing" phrase

I was thinking of musical references: /Fermata of Undetermined Length /The Minor Seventh Circle of Hell /You can't just glissando through life /Fibonnacci's Purgatory /Space in the Key of G /Second Speech

I kind of like the play of Hershey's Kiss in some of the suggestions below: "Life is like a Chocolate Bar", "Is the Moon Made of Chocolate", "Chocolate Moon", "What's in a Chocolate (or Hershey's) Kiss?", "Chocolate Kisses"

I like BETTER WORSE OR NOTHING, or, EMPTY NOTES.

James, I love "Chocolate Moon".

Dali/Picasso on Pumpernickel.

Starry Night.

"Songs in the key of I" (that's a capital "i") or "Selfies in Space" as in, this character is so self-absorbed and self-important he/she would be the kind of person to be taking pictures of him/herself rather than admiring the beauty around if he/she were to be in outer space

Molly, I know how hard it is to get that title, I went through that period with my project, it took 4 years, but I got it. If I could suggest a title to you with my limited knowledge of your project. I suggest."Searching For a Song" as in life we are all searching for who we are, Love, that special someone and how we can fulfill our goals. It is all a mystery and some of us find that song.

Perhaps "I Sing My Body Electric". I don't think Walt Whitman (his "I Sing the Body Electric") would mind. If the main character's arc is one of learning, then maybe "I Sang My Body Electric". Good luck............

The Vox

"The Mirror Is My Friend"...

Bad Microphone Z-Major Psyco-Delish

3 separate ones, that came out wrong: Bad Microphone, Z-Major, Psyco-Delish

SPACE BARD

""Life in the Key of E=MC2"

But I've solved the E=Mc2 equation. E=£ because time is money...

Lights Out/The Dimmed/Falling Star/Burn Out

Franz, in the dim recesses of my memory I seem to recall the Film Production formula was a triangle with Time/Money/Quality as the points.

Quantum Quirk

Howl at Fate

I don't know what to do! I'm overwhelmed with your responses! Good on you, guys! I'm so impressed! I have so much to work with now! just goes to show, 20... 25 heads are better than two! I love these titles so much! If we use yours, we'll get in touch!

Molly, do to the response, break it down to a top ten and compare it to your project. See which one brings out the curiosity of the public. Perhaps you can survey the public with a focus group to see which title is more interesting.

karaoke's big dipper

"The Speed of Life"

Unspeakable force that fix the things

Crescendo Crash Voice Lessons High Pitch Fixation Shattered Glass Perfectly Off Octave The Octave of Octopus The Crescendo of the Universe Cymbals Clash

Yikes. So you can read... "Crescendo Crash"- "Voice Lessons"- "High Pitch Fixation" - "Shattered Glass" - "Perfectly Off Octave" - "The Octave of Octopus" - "The Crescendo of the Universe" - "Cymbals Clash"

Lost in Space.

The Karaoke King of Space Station 9

In Space, No One Can Hear You Sing

the future of yesterday

No one knows the story better than you guys... Why ask us? If your screenwriter has a vivid imagination then a title will just pop out in front of him/her. Go with your gut.

The flower dont bloom

Tales of an Empty Dog.

Star Gazing 101

Mr. Universe's Chocolate Fountain...

Saturn Sessions

Intergalactic Picking Club

CHOCOLATE SKY

Why not got with "sexy, awkward and desperate"

TRANSMISSION FROM PLANET CATERWAUL. Hmm, kind of a stab in the dark. The premise sounds really interesting though. Do you have a composer picked out? I would love to work with you.

Def Tone Drone

Distortion Field

Chocolate Desires

Magnum Opus? Cocoa Galaxy?

Sex, Song, Self-love, and Sci-Fi in 18 Minutes.

So when do we find out what you guys came up with?

Chris decided to go with Attack of Boris the Dog. He was very very very motivated and encouraged by you guys. And has suggested he'd steal a number of those titles for other works (I'll let you know if he does)! He changed the plot of the short film to include a terrorist character known as Boris the Dog, so it's developed even since I talked with you last. I'm really excited. I'll ask if I can include a thank you to you all in the credits, because you really helped restore our faith in humanity and the project! :) Let me know if I can do anything for any of you!

Nice choice, thanks for the update. I wish you all the best on your project.

Much luck to you guys!!!!

'My Life As An Unsuccessful Singer'

Co -Deepened, Dance of the Narcissist. Sounds a great project, if there are opportunities to write score or music please let me know. Good Luck

Sounds interesting. I like better to know more about the film, but, how about - Quotation Marks?

with the question-mark at end

Sorry, none of the titles draw me to watch. It has to be enticing and draw the potential viewer customer in. These titles do not do the job.

My Life in Dali's Shadow.

What title did you ever come up with for the "Plastic Spaceman"?

"A Day In The Life Of Boris Th Dog"

A recommendation, your log line pitch draws the interest of the public and the title is the one two punch. If you don't have either your film will remain unnoticed and the Day in the Life of Boris the Dog will be sleeping with no one watching. Review your log line and the title carefully does it stir curiosity and does the title grab the customer, survey some people at the mall or at a coffee shop, see what they say, after all they are the ones who go to the movies.

WHERE ALL STRINGS END...I just thought about it...hope this helps!:) PS: I think a " string" is also a term in physics or astrophysics...I think I've heard it mentioned in a Science Fiction movie or series before...

String theory postulates that the elemental particles which make up all matter, such as protons and electrons are not point-like objects as we were taught, but one dimensional strings. And the various particle types are not different at all, but the same string elements at different quantum states. The strings are too small to be measured with even the smallest gradation of a Stanley Powerlock measuring tape, yet the Stanley Powerlock continues to sell well - at least that's the theory. Hope this helps.

We need more info. Do you have a synopsis somewhere we can read?

Here you go: "Please Don't Add Reality to My Recipe for Life"

What was the final decision?

I second the question. What was your final decision? We spent a lot of time helping you, now please let us know what your final choice is.

Thanks everyone, Aftermath & Melody as it eventually came to be called is now sent to Cannes! Wish us luck! :)

Good luck, fingers crossed for you.

Molly, Do Stage 32 proud, we are all routing for you and your team.

Please let us know how you come out.

i would have loved to try that for you but too late! What did you choose?

Aftermath and Melody for the sci-fi surreal erotic comedy and Catching Sight for the sci-fi drama.
