We decided to think of a name for our film. After brainstorming many ideas we eventually settled on the name "Existence of Christian". The reason for this is that we thought having a short title with one word was clichéd. Therefore, we decided on a title which is still catchy but slightly longer. It is also very vague and creates enigmas and a sense of mystery for the viewer, instantly enticing them to watch the film.
The title suggests that because our character merely 'exists' rather than 'lives', he sees his own life as fairly insignificant. This could be part of the reason for his mental instability. The decision to include the main character's name in the title came from the idea that calling the character 'Christian' immediately conjures up images of a good-natured, forgiving, religious person. However, the fact that our character is in fact none of these things (perhaps he was once) makes the title slightly ironic and almost misleading. It is not our intention to deceive the audience, however we believe that by not conforming to expectations, it will enhance the viewing experience as the film will take the viewer by surprise.
