I finally came up with my title!!

     I was brainstorming title names and one idea stood out to me: name your film the name of the character. Since my opening revolves around the characters life, I thought this idea was perfect. There lied one problem- coming up with the character’s name. After going through many names like…

1. Camryn (meaning crooked)

2. Angie

3. Liana (meaning vine, symbolizing how she feels trapped)

    I finally found the name “Birdie” from this website.  For one, the main character wishes to escape from her house, like how a bird wants to escape from its cage. It also brings an indie feel to my film. I also thought of other film names(some were inspired by songs), but they didn’t stick out to me like “Birdie” did.

-Here we go again

-Burden of youth (Like a Tattoo by Sade)

-Scars of aging, scar of age (Like a Tattoo by Sade)

-Unloved (This one is just a word I thought of when describing my film)

-Neglected (Another word I thought of, but having a title like this would be hard to attract an audience because of how basic and general it is)

-Erased (Already exists)

-Here forever

-Running through my head (Wish You Were Here by Avril Lavigne) 

-Broken Inside (Nobody’s Home by Avril Lavigne)

    My character would definitely listen to Avril Lavigne and that’s where I drew a lot of inspiration from. And that song by Sade was stuck in my head the entire time brainstorming and I just realized how fitting some of the lyrics are to my film.

                                                                                          

Avril Lavigne vs. My character

(I found the picture of Avril on Pinterest, I couldn’t find the source of it)

    I still feel like “Birdie” is the best choice out of all of them. But I just realized that it is kinda close to “Lady Bird’s” name. Hopefully it wont be a problem because I was not even thinking about Lady Bird during this part of the process.
