DOCUMENTARY UNIT: CHOICE OF TITLE


Are We Numb?

We sat down today and began to discuss the title for our documentary. Since the documentary is about young people and investigating whether or not they are disrespectful to the Holocaust? We talked about having the presenters name and then the title like Louis Theroux does, such as these:




However, we haven't chosen a Presenter yet and this only works well for Louis because he's such a well known documentary maker. It's also slightly stealing his style if we did it like that. So we decided to try and come out with a title that sums up the documentary. We did come up with the following titles:
- Holocaust disrespect 
- Memorial Selfies
- Snap first
But none of these jumped out at us. 
When discussing, we asked what we were trying to answer and decided that we needed a question. We finally came to the question "Are We Numb?" as in are we numb to the Holocaust, this is the answer that we are trying to find in the documentary. But this works as a title. It jumps out and catches your attention, its what we're trying to find out and it's not giving away any of the documentary before you watch it but makes you question what it could be about.
