The film will be called 'Torpidity'
The meaning of the title perectly represents our film in the sense that it is all about being in a dream state. A relativly uncommon word, Torpidity presents ideas of being in a restless, inactive state. Much like the film this title raises alot of questions as to whether the character is in a dream state or is actually awake and in reality.
The word 'Torpidity' derives from the latin word 'Torpidus' meaning numbed or paralyzed, this is coincides with the feeling that the character is helpless in the film unable to escape in reality and in dream. In addition to this idea, this word also presents ideas of feeling trapped, whether it be mentally or physically.
Our aim in choosing this title is that it will relate to the audience as I'm sure a majority of people have felt the feeling of being in a dream state or as the film displays feeling trapped. This feeling of torpidity is something that can happen to any individual and this is something that we really conveyed in the films opening sequence.
Another reason we chose 'Torpidity' to be the title of our film is because this is a feeling that anyone can have at any moment, creating a relatable feeling which we feel we have utilized throughout our opening sequence through the characters and soundscape.

Great title - and you analyse it in detail... just one thing don't restless and inactive mean the opposite?
