Title Choice

Initially we decided upon the title Daze, however as we began to give even more focus to the protagonist we changed it to Dazed. The verb choice is therefore a direct reflection of the confusion and almost hypnotised state of the character in our opening.

Like many real film products the choice for a single word title is ambiguous, giving very little detail as to style or content. Some recent examples are Life, Unforgettable, Unlocked and Suntan (all for 2017 release). Most crucially, we kept with the our main focus of replicated the titles of Drive.

The title, I feel, reflects the frantic nature of the opening whereby the audience is immediately positioned from the same perspective as the protagonist. However, the absence of dialogue places the audience in the same 'dazed' position in their lack of knowledge.
