I've been watching Omeleto for a while now and noticed the titles too. They seem to have adapted pretty well to the social media sphere by just stating what the film is about in the title. Simple and effective. Great video btw!

You are great inspire! I was working on TV for 3 years and hate what i've been doing there. My main dream has always been to make a feature film and only now I am starting to make it come true. I've already made three short films, and one of them even got to film festival in South Korea (I was so happy), and I want to make another 9 short films in 9 months and after to start working on the feature. I don't know how but my trailer to short film "Stuck at work" got 8k+ views, that's crazy)) Now I love what I'm doing, and wanna say thank to you! You are a great inspire! And I love your videos and movies, especially Will The Machine. Can't wait for your third feature, it's gonna be sick!

@WordUnheard2 жыл бұрын
Great advice. I've seen a ton of short films on KZbin. I watch Omeleto, DUST, ALTER, and so many other channels that host short films. But I like to try films outside of the network-like channels. The best short I've ever seen is called Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times. I found it in the wild, and the title piqued my interest immediately. I'm so glad I watched it, because it was perfect. The structure, acting, and ending. I cannot recommend watching it enough. Years of looking for the perfect short film, and I just found it a couple weeks ago. Better late than never! My only complaint with channels like ALTER is that they have a bad habit of using a shot from the end of the movie as the thumbnail. It is infuriating, and a slap in the face to those who went through the trouble of making the films. A twelve minute long film, and ALTER will just be like, "Hey! Here's an eye-catching thumbnail to entice you into watching it!" only to find out that they used a shot from the last minute of the film.

For titles since you couldn't get in depth about them, I would suggest using rhetorical devices in titles like diacope, tricolon, Epizeuxis, oxymorons, etc. Rhetoric devices really elevate titles in my opinions.

Really interesting debate. If a movie is great then it doesn't matter what it's called. Even if a few people love it, word of mouth kicks in and creates a following, and, in many cases the more wacky the title the more intriguing, at the very least someone will check it out, out of curiosity, and if the movie is good they'll recommend it. Another way to look at this subject is to take your movie "Title" which will inevitably be something logical than something creative, let's call it a "Tell" rather than a "Show". Shaking hands? How else could that title idea be developed so its more intriguing, and so a potential consumer, doesn't just go, "I know what that film's about, next"...

I wonder if this era of catering to short attention spans will eventually reverse. When I heard that people watch ten minutes and then click on something else, I thought it was a joke. It's not. I think that business, not science or art, will make the change. After all, investing in something that has low probability of return is pointless, and at a certain point, business might require a change. Either that, or the government will change, and qualified filmmakers will get a base salary plus grants for movies and they can make movies for artistic reasons rather than for profit.

@@belivaboy One piece of advice I can offer in the grand scheme of writing is that I often practice writing loglines for the many project ideas floating in my head. During this brief writing phase I try identify a primary theme and assign a potential title to that idea. After a while of doing this I have ended up with a repertoire of pitches, and it has given me the ease of mind to more easily see which Loglines stand out to me as being the most viable option to pursue now that I'm finally gearing up to start making short films. In short this alone has given me something to more confidently fall back on in the likely case of failure and/or rejection.
