How to Title Your Screenplay
* 1
Examine the themes of your script. If it deals with death you do not
want to have sunshine or rainbows in the title.
* 2
Write the plot of the movie on a piece of paper. A good title (I use
the word "good" because many movie titles are terrible even if the movie is good)
will tell the story of the movie in a few words.
* 3
Are there any characters that have a cool name? We get so used to
titles like "Jerry Maguire" that we forget it is merely a character's name.
* 5
Ask around. Let a few people read the script and test some titles on
them. If they know the plot, they will also know if the title gets the story
across.
* 7
Remember that a good title gets the plot across. There are plenty of
bad titles, but a good one will attract viewers and get the plot across.
