Something that has been really on my mind and I've been having a hard time with is naming this documentary.
This is always the part that I tend to struggle with.
In my opinion, the title of a piece is what ties the whole thing together. If the title isn't fitting or doesn't tie in well with the central idea of the content, it throws the entire piece off. I keep telling myself that once I get my footage and hear what Riley has to say, something will come to me. But what if it doesn't...
Plans are made and the project is well on its way with progress, but without a title, it doesn't feel like a real project. I don't know quite how to explain it but I kind of associate titles with a cohesive idea. Something that makes an idea identifiable and complete. Without that sense of cohesiveness, I've been having a hard time processing in my mind that this piece is going to be finished and completed in just a few short weeks. And this really scares me. Since the day we started this piece, I knew I wanted to put my all into this and have the final product be something that I am truly proud of. Having such an important aspect of doc being incomplete makes me feel unconfident.
I had an idea to possibly name it a verb that is sports-related, kind of like "Preserve", but it just doesn't feel right.
I'm gonna keep workshopping it and maybe once I hit post-production something will come along, but for now, it remains untitled.
