Title Formation- MERA LAHORE

'Mera' is an Urdu word which means 'MY'. We decided to name our short film Mera lahore as it is purely based on lahore and its culture.
Making the title was not that easy as i thought it would be. Our basic idea was not just simple text but something that would look different as well as appealing. We therefore decided that we would add a simple figure to it to make it look better.
To have a better understanding of how international film makers work on the title of their film we went through several titles. There were things that we liked in them which really inspired us. Such as
The font choosen gives it a very bold look and confirms the fact that the film is based on a serious topic. Another good point about this title is that it somewhat relates to our story as well.

The Second title that we liked.
The best thing about this title is the font style. The cracks in the font indicates destruction(which is a part of the film.)The image used is supporting the genre as well.

Third Title:


Our rough sketch:


Based on this research we decided that we would add the 'Minar-e-Pakistan' which is a historical monument in lahore. It holds great significance in history. The font we selected was Brush Grunge. The reason we selected this font was that the font gives a feel of distruction and this is somewhat related to our story. We had been clear with what we wanted to make but the placement of font and the image was an issue we therefore made 2-3 options.
