Arguably the hardest part of a creative process is deciding what to call it, should you go simple? Or perhaps go for something more extravagant? For the first time so far, this is something we couldn't agree on, some people liked some ideas more than others, and some people hated those ideas. It wasn't an easy task, so we decided to leave it until we knew more about what our film would look, sound and feel like. Along the way, if we came up with an idea, we would put it on a list on our shared word document.
As you can see, we came up with quite a few possibilities in the end. I particularly liked 'Chrysalis', as it related to the idea that the Dancer is evolving - pushing herself out of her shell in order to be free, all through the art of dance. Others however didn't agree and wanted something that was more directly linked to the film itself. Just as we were about to fall out over it, I came up with the title 'Black and Blue', of which relates very well to not only the story - in dancers often push themselves to the point of injury while doing what they love - but also is a direct link to the colour motif of the film. After all, half of the film is going to be coloured with Blues and Purples, and the other will be in Black and White.
