That One Film Was So Awesome! What Was The Name Of It Again?
Choosing a title for your film or screenplay might be an afterthought. I strongly advise you to put some time into the name, to avoid confusion with other films. I recently wrote a short book, filled with advice for filmmakers that are submitting their creative work to the Film Festival Circuit. A small investment, goes a long way. Do yourself a favor. Download this book and avoid common mistakes that filmmakers make every day when submitting to Film Festivals. Strengthen your submission and get ahead of thousands of filmmakers that are submitting their work on FilmFreeway. Below, is the first paragraph of Chapter 3.
Chapter 3: Does The Name Of Your Film Stand Out? Or Will It Be Lost In The Shuffle?
"Over the last two years, we have received over 25 submissions that were named “Swipe Right.” When those 25 people came up with the title of their film, they probably thought it was appropriate or even creative. Few considered that there are several other submissions that may have the same exact title. Your title can give the viewer a memory point, that reminds them of which film is yours. "Return of the Jedi" and "The Walking Dead" are a little more specific than "Space Film" or "Zombie Show" right? Choosing a title that is not generic or overused, is smart for three different reasons. Film Festival attendees want to remember their favorite films. Second, similar film titles in the same competition can get very confusing for Film Festival Judges. Finally, search engines matter. If an interested party wants to research your film online, how hard will that be?" - Would you like to read more? Download the Film Festival Submitter's Handbook now!
