As part of the process of selecting a title for our film, I used a variety of online movie title generators for inspiration. Unfortunately I was unable to find a one which was suitable for the type of film my group had in mind. This was because the majority of the title generators which I were able to find were not solely intended for actual film naming processes, but were designed with comedic purposes in mind.
The first title generator which I used was ‘Action Movie Title Generator’. I used this website because the film which I am creating shall be a hybrid genre combining crime, action and thriller elements. This website generates a range of ‘movie titles’ by combing two action related words from a large word bank which they have created. I found these titles to be unusable as they seemed either too generic or unfitting for my film. I believe that these titles were more intended for fully action movies such as Rambo and Die Hard. As can be seen in the screenshot, one of the titles which the website generated for me was ‘Fatal Punishment’.
The next generator that I used was called “B-Movie Title Generator”. Unfortunately the titles which it was able to produce were fairly limited and lacked quality. As shown in the screenshot, it came up with overly generic titles such as ‘The Gangsters’. This was not the sort of thing that my group members and I were looking for and we ended up not using any of the titles.
The next generator used was also called ‘B-Movie Title Generator’. It provided a wider range of titles than the previous generator, but the titles which it came up with were too specific and ridiculous. Also the titles seemed to be primarily science fiction and horror based. One of the titles generated was ‘Revenge of the blood-thirsty space robots’. This site was clearly meant to produce only comical movie titles and was therefore not appropriate for use in our project.
The following title generator was simply named ‘Random Title Generator’. The good thing about this title generator was that it displayed six new titles each time, thus allowing for a faster time with less hassle. Unfortunately the majority of the titles were not suitable as they were primarily fantasy based and our trailer is to be for a crime and action movie.
We ended up deciding not to use any of the titles that were generated as the vast majority of them were either unrelated to the genre or undesirable. Instead of using title generators to create the title of the movie, we simply had to come up with a selection of names ourselves.
