UNFORESEEN EMISSARY - Final Cut

TITLE OF PRODUCTION

So far our group remains indecisive of what to name our film. Therefore we have turned our attention to other films names in order to accumulate some knowledge as to how these names of the films were thought up.

The James Bond series were based on the novels from Ian Fleming. It was said that there was a team of people alongside him who's soul purpose was to think of names to assign to the books. These often resulted to iconic, spring-off-the-tongue names that caught their audiences eyes; ideal for mass appeal as it was cool, unusual and always an eye-catcher.


For example: Quantum Of Solace. This essentially means once depicted: Littleness of regret/concern. This is, in my opinion, a wonderful name as it conveys such sophisticated connotations purely of how they have worded it and of course the sophisticated manner is rather linked with the narrative of the film. The title also compliments the presentation of James Bond in the poster, and in the film, as though he seems like a person of high class, he holds a weapon in clear sight and is surrounded by a desolate area, leaving us to ponder with the question of whether he had caused such a destruction. This generates a rather cryptic and mysterious sense.



Another example would be GoldenEye. GoldenEye acts in accordance with the whole notion of ambiguity in James Bond titles. As gold carries connotations of wealth and riches, we are left with various questions due to the obscurity of its meaning such as whether there is value in observation or someone in the film literally has a golden eye. Either way it is interesting, thought provoking and draws the mass' attention.





We have finally came to an agreement that would suffice as an appropriate and interesting name, Unforeseen Emissary. I believe this is a great name as it complements the narrative of our production with its sophisticated wording. It essentially means an unexpected special mission/diplomatic representative which is rather linked to our narrative and secret-service theme.
