To get various opinions we created a survey monkey page wherein we combined our ideas to get others opinions on what they thought would make a good title for our piece, link found below:
As the survey was being created and while we waited for feedback to be collected, we decided upon the title 'Grace' for our piece, as the name has doubles up as a word meaning, "to have good will, to add dignity to". Our protagonist suffers from sexual assault in the opening scenes of the trailer seen through straight cut edits between the close up shots of the attack and the disorientated POV shots that follow the attack. This made a connection between the climax of the piece wherein 'Grace' comes to the realization that the attack was no fault of hers and instead, she 'rises above' the attack with 'Grace' in order to try and rebuild her life.
Our survey brought back expected results. The majority of people who were shown our storyboard and narrative arc and then issued with the survey agreed that a one word title is often more effective, such as 'Trainspotting' as there is more focus on one word, however it was also clear that a named character was a popular title idea, creating a connection with the audience and the piece by making it real.
