Nameless

We finished recording the voice for the girl part, and after having various people recording we decided on using my voice for the part! My group and i felt i brought the most emotion to the part and sounded the most realistic.

We were trying to decide on a perfect title for our film which we think portrays the subject and meaning behind the film. I knew i wanted to find a powerful title which i thought expressed the film. I found this website titled "The importance of a Great Film Title" and Josh Patterson talked about how a great film title will tell you what the film, what the film would look like, and even feel like, without revealing too much. Which is why we came up with the title we did because we felt it expressed a very important emotion the character is displaying, without revealing too much about the film itself.

Josh Patterson also stated:
"When I hear a magnificently evocative real title... I can't help imagining what might be the perfect movie under that title."

While thinking through various titles, we wanted to find a powerful title which we felt described the loss of identity that the character felt when he escaped the mental institution.

Finally we came across a perfect title "Nameless." We felt this incorporated the dehumanization practices that the outdated mental institution performed on the patients. We also felt this incorporated the emotion the character is feeling throughout the entire film opening, while he is in the institution, he feels like just a number, because in the institution everyone is assigned a specific number and are not referred to as their name, hence why he feels "nameless." He also evokes this emotions during his psychotic break, the main character feels as if he is not even in control of his own body and mind anymore, he is being infiltrated by voices telling him what to do every second of every fleeting moment.

We also felt the powerful title "Nameless" fit just right with our film because notice how we never assigned a name to our character, and we did that on purpose to get the audience to focus more on the suffering of his schizophrenia, and showing how this mental illness makes him feel less human, makes him feel without a name, makes him feel "Nameless"
