Above, is a Prezi presentation of potential film titles written in Latin. The reason my group and I have considered Latin is due it being a language hardly ever used within modern day society therefore, a film title in Latin would create curiosity as to what it means.
Contagion/ Contagious - this relates to how victims of the virus become contaminated and therefore are themselves, contagious. They can no longer hide from the danger or harm as they are harmful to themselves.
Lost/Loss - this title helps with the audiences understanding of how the virus victims feel loss on many levels within our film. For example, the loss of senses. An equilibrium is broken when the victims begin to lose the ability to smell, taste, feel, hear and see. Loss of purpose - when the victim's senses begin to deteriorate and eventually disappear, they are merely shells of their former selves. Lost (as in location) unaware on where to go once infected.
Sense/Senses - these deteriorate and are eventually absent when infected with the virus.
Outbreak - a sudden occurrence of something unwelcome. In this case, the virus.
Virus - this titles (in my opinion) is the most honest of the titles. This doesn't necessarily create any enigmas as the audience are aware on what the film revolves around.
One of my virus sub-genre group members (Jasmine Rosser) designed a preliminary survey in order for us to have an insight into what ultimately could be our final choice. As you can see, over 60% of those that participated, suggested that Outbreak should be the tile of our film.
