Impact of the title:
The impact of the title can lead the audience immediately to make a judgement on the film. Through research, it has become clear that the majority of successful action film's titles have included the name of the cast members, typically the main protagonist first a shown within Casino Royale as Daniel Craig's name is shown almost as soon as the credits start showing the importance of cast within the film as it would make the audience more engaged if a well-known award-winning actor was in the film. Furthermore, the first thing shown is the institution, whether it be their opening title or their name, they are included immediately when the film is showing, again, this may make the audience more aware of what kind of film they will be watching as the institute may be known to do films surrounding a certain genre. Producers and directors are also shown within the opening credits typically before the cast credits have been presented, after this production, costume and make-up design are also included. Throughout different action films, opening titles have varied between showing the title of the film either immediately or waiting until further on, this I believe is more effective as it will create tension for the audience and so I believe it would be more suitable to show the titles once credits have already been shown. Furthermore, graphics have been used to relate to the film title, I believe this gives it a more professional look as it shows the relationship between the name of the film and the film itself. Shown is an example showing the typical conventions of opening titles/credits within an action/spy film.
Decision on title:
Coming together as a group we decided to create an effective title that would entice the audience in to watch our production. We wanted the title to reflect the target audience’s wants and needs, in order to reflect these we have produced a questionnaire previously to find out what would appeal to our target audience and why, the final question the questionnaire asked what titles were most effective and appealing, the majority of the people asked proffered short and simple however others wanted connotations to be included within the heading as it implies some sort of mystery wanting them to watch.

Eventually, we decided that having a short and simple heading would be most appropriate with some connotation of both the main genre and sub-genre, by doing this we created a mind map of words we associate with action, as shown, this helped us come up with more appropriate names for an action film.
Coming up with the name for our film had some element of difficulty as we had to research every name we appealed to ensure it was not already a film name, alongside this we needed to ensure that the name would appeal to the audience and make them want to watch it. We all chose our best titles for the film, having two votes each which led us to a final four names, fortunately, we all had the same view on what were our favourites and so once they were finalised, this task was not too challenging for us.
We finally chose the name Red Bullet, this was Ashleigh and I’s favourite however Jess also liked it but it wasn't her chosen one, the idea of Red Bullet stemmed from the implications of red being simplistic and implying love which would juxtapose against the violence of the bullet implications which suggests violence and possibly death, by doing this we have included both genre and sub-genre. I like the name we have chosen as I believe it will intrigue both genders for a bigger target audience.
