Choosing A Title


As our film is about a demonic woman haunting our character's dreams, we thought it would be quite fitting to base our title around. Therefore we researched demonic women, and different words for them. This is shown in the image below. However, this was unsuccessful as we didn't find a suitable word that we thought bold and fitting enough to name our film with. 




Then, we decided to search for Latin words relating to dreams and nightmares, as our film is about nightmares. The Latin language is very historic and can be quite scary when used in a particular way. We considered the following Latin words: Diablo, Venegeance, Pesadilla, Incubus, and Tantibus. However the one we agreed on naming our film was 'Somnium'. This makes a strong, bold, intriguing title, whilst also being relevant and of great meaning to the film. It means 'day dream' in Latin. The image below shows the English to Latin translation of the word 'dream', which is how we came up with our title 'Somnium'.
