Penumbra our ambiguous short film title

Penumbra? Do you know what this means? If yes.... good, if no... even better. This is the name of our short film and it is a very ambiguous name because not that many people know what it means. This fits well with our target audience as under the Two step flow theory of the effects models, audiences will want to find out more about the name and consequently what the film is about, this will lead to discussions with friends and can lead to research upon the internet.

For more information on our title name Penumbra follow the link below to my co-directors blog where he explains what it means and how this fits within our genre.


Blaine has also produced a short video that represents a way our title can be shown on screen before our film. In my opinion the simplicity adds to the impact it has upon the audience and as it starts to get bigger and turn you as the audience just become intrigued by the unusual rotation that is taking place. Overall i think it is very simple but very effective but to cast your own opinion watch the video below.
