Film Name

At first we wanted to choose a name for our film that connotes “choices” or “decisions” as in our film the main theme is about making a choice. We did think about having a Latin name, so we translated “Decisions” into Latin which was “sentential”, “judicium”, “iudicium”, however we felt that these names sounded too magical and did not relate to the genre of the film, hence would not connect with our demograph and interest them to watch our film. We also liked the idea of having just one word for the title as well, as we believe it has more of an impact for example the name of the film “Inception” leaves quite an impression on its audience.

Finally we came up with a name and have chosen to call our film: “Intersection”. This is because it reflects a cross-road/junction which relates to our film for two reasons. Firstly, at an “intersection” you have two ways to go, which links to our film in the way Lucas has two paths and has to choose one. Moreover, Lucas has to make his life changing decision at a train station and an intersection is part of the train’s meta-language. Furthermore, the fact that the word “Intersection” is American will help our film appeal to a wider audience and promote it to the American market, thus helping to improve the success of our film.
