Film Name.

After much thought and lots of ideas being batted back and forth, I finally came up with a name for my film. My initial ideas were quite cheesy, with names such as "Rising Up" or "Waking The Hero" but then I realised that these were quite sickly and almost quite Americanised with the 'Grand' names.
I thought I needed something more British, with maybe a little irony or sarcasm involved, but then I decided I wanted a lot of irony, so that even an American audience would understand, which of course would then lead to American profits as well as English. As I'm not looking for subtlety, I went for a really controversial name (considering the film is about disabled people). The name I finished with was "Taking A Stand". Obviously, a name like this is really pushing conventions and would spark controversy, if actually made into a film. However, something a little controversial often works out well, as we can see in films like "The Exorcist" which was actually banned, yet after it was re-released, the film did very well. Similarly, a film like "Schlinder's List" which was shot in black and white, despite having the technology to film in colour, was made to be un-conventional and the story was controversial. So, from past experience, I can see that films often make it, when controversial. Obviously, there will be films that did not do so well that will have been controversial, but I feel it is worth the risk.
