“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”

Organisation: Title Ideas and Change of Protagonist's Name

I am very proud of mysef that I managed to come up with a concept for my title ideas!!!
I done a little brain-storm with Felicity and here's what we've come up with:



At the moment I've settled on the title 'Marionette' since she's been controlled and toyed with by herself and others, and it also relates to how she's putting on a show and needs someone to help her break the strings of (borderline) addiction that she's tangled in. It also doesn't make the message of the story bias to online relationships either, but relationships, self-seeking and self-degrading on a whole.

So this change would directly link to the trailer, I thought to change the protagonist's name to either 'Marionette' or 'Marian'. I think that name suits the protagonist much better too. Also, since she outs on a ' show' in a sense, maybe her signature 'character' is the marionette doll. Maybe she was told she was like a doll from her ex-boyfriend but he connoted it to weakness and manipulation rather than beauty. Since she's like a broken doll too, its as if her innocence has been broken by both herself and others (mainly herself though). So Marionette has a lot going for it as a title and Felicity said it was a great idea! I'll do some more audience research for the title to make sure, but I really love this decision I've come to!

EDIT:
I've asked my sister her opinion on the title too. Here's what we've discussed...

  1. The title sounds very good! It's very appropriate and the meaning behind it is very nice and could lead to other interpretations too. I think the name marian would be best because there's a hint of a link between the title and the character but it's not too obvious

  2. I love these ideas!I love the name 'Marian' or the combination of 'Marianette' and the idea that she is personalized fits so much with your ideas! There is also a link between both the character and the title which is very consistent and very smart!!
