Naming Our Thriller

When it came to naming our thriller we got quite caught up in a number of ideas. However, what we needed to remember was that we were not just naming the opening sequence that we had made but naming the film entire film. Initially we were thinking of names that had links to vertigo which relates to our opening sequence because Molly begins contemplating her life and whether or not she should jump however this isn't necessarily something that relates to our entire film narrative.

Although we wanted to expand our field of ideas, all our ideas stemmed back to one thing the line, 'we leapt and we landed in to the fresh fallen snow'. We decided that because this is the line that creates the biggest enigma in our opening and is something that would be referenced again and again if we were to continue the film, there wouldn't be a more suitable title. Our initial title was simply 'We Leapt and We Landed' however after a few days dwelling on this title, I felt that if we focused more on the latter part of the line, then we would have a far more ambiguous title; 'Fresh Fallen Snow'. In our thriller, there are a lot of twists and turns as we venture through various stereotypes making our sequence quite unpredictable. By naming it Fresh Fallen Snow, we would be creating a title that is just as ambiguous as our thriller and doesn't give too much away.
