While editing (a bit late but better now than never,) I had been brainstorming ideas for what i could possibly title this production. I decided on one, which is clear to take away from the title logo I made directly above this, but here is a peek into my mind during this process:
I was really hooked on the idea of a one-word title for a work like this; it doesn't really change anything if the title surpasses one word for films in this genre but most thriller dramas are only one word. Also, in a stylistic sort of sense, it seems cooler to be able to call it by a single word(i don't have any logical way to back this up it's just cooler.) I was stuck on a single title idea for so long because I couldn't think of anything better, and that title was sadly already taken-Euphoria. Euphoria is such a fun word and with the right theming and font it would have made for a very fitting title for this work. Zendaya ruined my life.
But, fret not, I soon thereafter thought of the next best thing, a title that would give insight into what would happen in the rest of the film, Smile Inc. This title was beneficial in two ways: one it is probably even more fitting considering a name like that gives audiences a general feel of what kind of film they are getting into before watching it(ala Squid Games or Fight Club,) and 2 I was able to easily make a logo with a smiley face incorporated onto it.
Though I don't think I'll ever lose my disappointment in not being able to use euphoria as the title for this opening, Smile, Inc. is more fitting and is not half bad.
