Choosing a Title

When beginning to come up with a title for the film, we decided that it should be one word. This is because during research we found this to be a common and powerful thing for many famous and well-known horror films. Examples of this include 'Psycho', 'Insidious' and 'Sinister'. We were initially persistent on the title having a significant underlying meaning that would not be obvious to the viewer to begin with but would be uncovered throughout the production. We first did some research into different words relating to female demon's, as the main antagonist in our production is similar to this type of character. We found a website suggesting many different possible words however felt that none were completely suitable for the title of our film.

After doing this we chose to look at different language translations for significant words relating to our storyline.  We started off with the word 'nightmare' due to the basis of our production being a young girl's recurring dream, but unfortunately we felt that the translations we found didn't suit our production and so moved onto the word 'dream' instead.

 We discovered that this word in Latin is 'somnium' which has an eerie and creepy vibe which is relevant for the title of the film.  We have therefore chosen to name our production 'Somnium' as it has an extremely strong link to the storyline of the film.
