Titles and Connotations.

The title of our film is called Karma. We chose this because we thought it would be an appropriate and effective name for a Teen angst. This is because Karma is a common saying among teenagers today, so it connotes our film is modern and considered cool, which would attract our target audience, who care keeping up to date with what's cool and most talked about it; which is what we hope to achieve from our film.

Another reason we decided the title Karma would be fitting is it is foreshadowing of how the plot develops in the film. This is because Caitlin is initially the popular sister, who is mean to her sister Charlotte and isolates her. Due to Caitlin's nasty behaviour Charlotte has no friends and is unhappy in school and out. However Caitlin eventually realises her friends are all fake, are only her friends to be popular and don't really care about her, she is also left alone and friendless. This is where the title forebodes the plot as she was horrible and could be considered karma that her friends turn against her.

The font for our title we chose to be Grey with pink shadowing this incorporates the stereotypical convention from teen angsts that pink will attract the female target audience, whilst at the same time challenging this convention with a countertype grey. We chose to make it grey for various reason. It makes the pink stand out more, its quite bold and stone like, we thought this effectively connotes it's importance. It also emphasises the pink in the title and gives a mysterious effect, which we linked to the semantics of the title itself.
