Why we chose our title.


We wanted a title that meant either being abandoned or a word that represents careless. We used a thesaurus to find one word for our title. After discussing it with my partner and asking a few people of the public we decided on 'Indifference'.

The definition of Indifference is; A lack of concern or care, as well as lack of importance and insignificance.

We thought that this would help represent the treatment given to the girl, there is no concern given it is all careless behaviour. The two boys treat her as if she has no importance. So we thought that 'Indifference' would be a good word to use as our title.

We used the website http://www.dafont.com/ to create different titles to make it more effective as the fonts on iMovie aren't very good. The title below was on of our ideas we had about 7 to choose from before narrowing it down to the one we used.
The title to the left is the final one which we decided would be best to use for our piece and after adding it in, it made the piece more effective.
