For several of our title ideas we decided to play on the double meaning of the homophone 'ecstasy', looking at the contrast between the definitions of the word - one being 'an overwhelming feeling of great happiness' another being 'a trance-like state', and the final definition is that it is a drug.
As our film is revolved around drug addition, we though it would be interesting to create titles which convey the the emotional state of someone who is under the influence of drugs. This includes words such as 'tranquility' and 'harmonious', which depict the serenity felt while experiencing the effects of the drug, a long with words which highlight the negativities of drug use, including 'delirium'. This means that several of our title ideas, particularly 'Harmonious Delirium' are very paradoxical, and portray the emotional distortion caused by drug intake.
Additionally, as we plan for our film trailer to focus primarily on the negative effects of drug addition, such as powerlessness, pain and vulnerability, we believe it would be very effective to have a misleading and contradictory title, therefore, many of our options have positive connotations and allude to happiness and joy, such as 'Euphoric Rhapsody'.
Our title options are:
The Tranquility of Ecstasy
Indulged in Ecstasy
Euphoric Rhapsody
Harmonious Delirium
Exhale
Inhale
Euphoria
Our survey monkey results will determine which title we will use; as this ensures we are catering to our audience.
