Film subject and Titles

Film Subject

Once I picked which genre I wanted my film to be I needed to think about what the film was actually going to be about, this was an easy choice because I am a history student and I have a great interest in British History and with British History comes the truly captivating story of Jack the Ripper. Even though the story of Jack the Ripper has been done multiple times, I feel that no one has ever done a 21st century version of the killings. I think that this will revolutionise the mystery of Jack the Ripper and allow the audience to have a better connection with the story while still offering the audience a sense of escapism. Also with the modern day twist to such a famous example Victorian Britain social and crime History, the film will offer the feeling of verisimilitude to the audience, because it is a Victorian Britain crime in 21st Century Britain.

Film Title

I chose the title Ripper's Replica because I think that it is the most telling in terms of the films genre and plot, because the film is about someone recreating the murders committed by Jack the Ripper on Ripperologists (Historians on Jack the Ripper).

Here are possible film titles that I have considered with one good point and one bad point;

Ripper's Replica - It tells the audience what the films about and attracts a certain audience; it might give to much away

Legacy - Short, and Memorable; Vauge

History repeats itself - Clear without giving to much away; Boring
