Picking titles

 Title

One of the hardest decisions of the project I would say is picking a title. There are so many options for titles. A few words to represent the themes explored in the short film was a big difficulty my group went through. We spent days thinking about what would be the best combination of words for our title. 

 

When we finally meet up during class on Thursday, we discussed the different ideas we had. We spent most of the period brainstorming different ideas. As we were trying to come up with a title that was unique and catchy. Many ideas were thrown around like "the gymnast", "point your feet" "I can't do it", and much more but none of them sounded good enough for a title. 

That was until My group and I started to think of a title with a double meaning. This meant gymnastic equipment or skills that could be a title. we thought that doing this will show how the short film is focused on gymnastics and also explores deeper meaning. After doing some research about gymnastic slang and equipment, I came up with the idea of using "Bar". As the word could represent teh gymnastic equipment but also the imaginary bar of beauty standards. 

Our short film will explore themes that include, beauty standards and pressure in gymnastics. As the main character tries to reach perfection. All this lead us to finalize our title as "reaching the bar", as it could be represented reaching the high bar and gymnastics and in expectations
