Film Noir: Name Ideas

Creating a name for our film was very difficult because we had to make sure it combined all the events of the story into one that was easily understood.

Brainstorm of names:

• Scarlett Shadow
• Fatally Female
• Crazed Lust
• Double Cross
• Black Soul
• Lady In Scarlett
• Passion For Treachery
• The Dark Betrayal
• Dark Heart
• A Soul For A Lie
• Forgive, Forget, Kill
• Veiled Conscience
• Money Makes The World Go Round.
• Crime Or Justice?
• Betrayal Of The Heart

• Lustful Injustice

We chose 'Lustful Injustice' because it's simple, catchy and rounds up the whole story in one line. 'Lustful' represents Carter's feelings for Bonnie, and 'Injustice' represents Bobby and Bonnie's criminal minds throughout the story.

The second name we needed to come up with was one for our production company. We thought about 'tea time' productions because these films were most likely to be shown to adult audiences, and of course will therefore only be shown on evening tv, around and after 'tea time' Another way we discovered this name was because 'T'oby; 'E'llen and 'A'ntonia all fitted into the name, and so involved each of us in the name, which was creative and quite satisfying for all of us. Our production company logo was originally a cup of tea, but we decided we wanted a more fierce effect so that it steered away from the 'relaxed' interpretations about the films that would come out of the company. Of course when a company is responsible for making films they need to allow the flexibility to enable them to appeal to various audiences, depending on what type of films they are releasing. 'T.E.A Productions' Was the name we settled on because it's simple, memorable and also could stand for anything - people would not find it an unappealing name or one that would suggest a certain genre of film, which is good.
