Title.

During our planning, one of the last things we needed to do was to come up with a title of our film. We have a few ideas such as 'Sisters and Misters' and 'Sisters, Misters and Peter Lister'. We came up with Sisters and Misters as it is cheesy however the class were not fond of the idea of the second half of the title. We then though of the second title because the character Peter is a main character throughout the film however it is not shown much in the opening scene. We wanted our title to be a rule of 3 so it can sound cheesy and more like what a teenager would say. However, we do not think the title really suits so were thinking of a new name.

We shared this idea of our name in the pitch we presented in front of the class. However, the feedback we received was negative about the title. The title we thought off did not appeal to anyone. We then had to sit and re think!

We decided to change the title to Karma. This is because it is a well known phrase which many teenagers use. We also got told we needed something big or an event to happen to make it more interesting. We decided the two sisters parents divorced. This is common with many families. One of the sisters blames the other and is horrible and rude to her. In the end, she loses all her friends which is karma for her being mean to everyone else which is why we come up with the title.

After creating our title, we had to think of fonts and colours. We did not know what type of fonts there were on the programme we were going to use however, we wanted a curly font with stereotypical colours such as pink and purple. When we went on the macs and looked, we found a font called which suited well. The colours were a hot pink fading to a grey. We all instantly liked this because it shows of the colours of the two main female characters! Pink represents Caitlin because she is happy, popular, and full of life. However, Charlotte is represented by grey because she is dull, boring, isolated and un cool.

The headings and titles we used during the opening were a little different to the title. We used a font called Vintage. This was because they looked cartoonist. We kept the font the same but we used a range of colours such as blue, pink, purple and yellow! We got the idea of using a cartoonist font from the opening of Juno. We liked this idea because it can show it is aimed for teenagers. This is because teenage girls tend to write and draw in diaries and this font reminded us of that idea. Cartoons represent young people which is who our film is aimed for.
