Whilst planning our thriller opening we thought deeply about how best to sum up and relate our plot line, key elements and actions in attempt to create a suitable title for our opening. The general idea was that we should go for a name that best represented the location, however, we soon decided that this was not as applicable as first thought. Therefore, we determined that the title should relate directly to the action and the main components of this, and so we chose the name "Transit". Transit defines the process of carrying people, goods or materials from one place to another, of which, connotes the actions portrayed within our plot line. This is as Jon is transporting an unknown item to Hanna, whilst Bill may potentially be hoping to transport the item Jon carry's to somewhere else once obtained. However, Bill's motives for the item are not revealed within our story but only speculated.
Additionally, the Transit is a model of van produced by Ford, this type of van is similar to the one Bill is driving within our opening and therefore the title further promotes our generic convention of the white van.

Well done for explaining the purpose of the title and the title's link to the mise-en-scene in your thriller.
ReplyDeleteCould you please explain the Havana connection. It is impossible to import drugs into Cuba. I've been there twice and there are war ships constantly on patrol. But an interesting idea which you need to think about authenticity.
Thanks for the feedback here, I may have made a spelling mistake here before and instead of writing the character's name of Hanna, I wrote Havanna! However, I have changed this as to avoid confusion.
