Thriller Title: A Fall From Grace

Originally, we had planned to call our film 'The Rep' - as we had planned for the villain in our thriller to be a 'rep' for the shop in which we were filming. Whilst shooting, we thought about how effective this would be, and decided that another title would probably represent our film better.

We brainstormed a few ideas, and thought about tie-ins we could make to the character and the plot. I brainstormed around the villain's name: Grace Jones. In the end, we decided to use "A Fall From Grace" as our title.

Whilst researching the phrase, we found several meanings:

1. A loss of status

2. A loss of respect

3. A loss of prestige

4. In a biblical sense, it means to become immoral.
e.g
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." (from the Bible)

5. In a famous poem, the line: "The fall from grace is steep and swift, and when you land, it does not make a sound, because you are alone" by Cari Williams in 1995 was very poweful.

'A Fall From Grace' holds several connotations about our film. First of all, we thought that it was a good idea as it highlights how Grace is the villain - murdering innocent people. We then thought about how it could hold deeper connotations towards the rest of the film.

The title suggests (as shown by the fourth suggestion of meaning of the phrase) that Grace was a classic 'good girl' and that something has happened to turn her into this murderous villain. We thought that this may intice the audience as they wish to find out what has happened to her in the past and what will happen to her.
