Film Title and Tag Line Ideas

We had not yet been able to come up with a title or tag line for our film so we decided to take half an hour from one of our lessons to discuss it as a group and brainstorm ideas. 



These are the ideas we came up with:

Titles
- The Last Taboo
- Double Rainbow
- The Gayest Documentary 
- The Rainbow Taboo 
- The Other Side of the Rainbow

Taglines
- We're not racist, nor sexist...So why are we homophobic?

- So intense. So vivid. ('Double Rainbow' title only)

- Why should being gay, be so hard?

- This certainly isn't a pot of gold... (rainbow themed titles only)

- No child is born homophobic

- Gay is the new purple

- Gay doesn't always mean happy...

After some discussion as a group we picked our fifth option for our film title and tag line. We managed to narrow it down to 'The Gayest Documentary' and 'The Other Side of the Rainbow' and due to the fact we thought that 'The Gayest Documentary' could be perceived as offensive, we made the decision to use 'The Other Side of the Rainbow' with the tagline 'Gay doesn't always mean happy...'.

Group 5

These are the members of group 5 and their personal jobs and qualities they bring to the group.

Mia Reid: Co-Director and Researcher.

Mia has managed to line up interviews with the chairman of the LGBT (see group powerpoint for further info) And a prominent worker in stonewall.
Furthermore Mia offers helpfull direction and also took up the mantle of asking the questions when we interview our subjects.








Freddie Skinner: Editing, General Help.

Freddie has proved extreamly valuable as his editing skills have helped the group move forward in our work, he edited the short test run interviews we performed with Lee Smith and George Neish, furthermore she also cut together and placed our presentation on this blog. Furthermore he got us an interview with a friend of his, whom was raised by two sets of same sex parents.




Rose McGinley: Co-Director, Camera Woman, Researcher.

Rose has contributed to the ideas for the documentary and worked in close conduct with Mia Reid in order to decide on what general settings and questions would be preferable during interviews. Furthermore Rose has done the camera work for the interviewing of Lee Smith and Diana Flemming and will in the foreseeable future be handling the camera work herself. She also managed to get Stella Collinson and George Neish to provide interviews for the group (who are both gay students) and David Robinson who can provide a perspective from the other point of view (a homophobic student).
