To begin these brainstorms, I first looked over various existing film titles such as The Possession, Silent Hill, The Crazies and observed the conventions that they contain. The titles can be split into two halves; one word titles and two or more word titles, each excluding “the”. The titles with 2 or more words tend to be limited to four words, and in some cases five as with “Last House on the Left” and those with one word have a single striking adjective that resonates with the target audience. The aim is to have a title that the audience will remember It was evident that I needed two words to fully connotate and signify the genre and the narrative. Overall, I found that “The Host” had a much scarier connotation, as “Demon Within” or "Darkness Within" was too generic.“The Host” also has the connotations with possession, and therefore fits in with my narrative much more effectively.
