Alright, time to come up with a title for my short film...
After doing some research on productions that are similar to my piece, I came across the film Suspiria. Ms. Stoklosa recommended I check out this film because they use interpretive dance and strong movements to represent meaning and build onto the story. This is very similar to what I wanted to do with my piece, so when I did some research on the film, the title and fonts used also stood out to me.
This film falls under the genre of horror. While my piece isn't a horror film, I want my short film to be abstract and avant-garde. So when I saw the title and the font used for the poster of this film, I was inspired and wanted do to something similar.
The unique font, and the letters "falling" and being broken up is the approach I decided to go for the style of the graphic for my short film.
For the title itself, I wanted it to be a representation of my piece and the meaning behind it. As a quick summary, my film dives into the challenging issue of being attached to something or someone. Not being able to let go of a certain thing and not being allowed to move on due to barriers and obstacles that keep us trapped.
With this concept, I want my viewers to interpret my short film however they see fit. I want my audiences to be able to relate in any way. This is why I decided I wanted my story to be told through interpretive dance, allowing full liberty to let the viewer's imagination explore and interpret my piece however they feel.
To take the idea of "free interpretation" a step further, I wanted this to be represented through my title as well. Therefore I took the concept of my story and translated it to Latin so that it is in a language that not so many people understand.
I took the word "tied", since my film is based on the idea of being "tied" to something, and translated it to Latin. Giving me the final result for the title of my short film, "Ligatum"
After coming up with the title of my short film, I began to play around with some fonts, colors, and styles. This is my final result! I decided to stick with primary colors, a unique font that staggers and collides the letters with each other, and a curve to the text to give it more dimension.
I can't wait to work with this graphic more and start to add it to posters, images, and promotional projects for my short film!
