title

as the title sequence will mainly be involving childern's toys, hopefully made to look a bit sinister i think it should be based around the the idea of playing or something to that effect.
But with the research i have done involving Tim Burton and the Horror genre they have very contrasting ideas of norms of what makes a good title...

  • Tim Burton titles are fairly self explanatory - Edward Scissorhands - involving the story of  'Edward' who has scissors for hands!
  • where as many horror films such as Saw and Savage, give an idea of the feel of the film and set up some narrative expectation but also include good use of the hermenutic code as a lot is still left unexplained.
Seeing as I do not have a whole film to base my title on i think it would be much more appropriate to use the horror film model to come up with a name for my film.
Main aspects of the title sequence are ~ lifeless objects
                                                             toys 
                                                             idea of childhood
                                                             a childs' bedroom
So one or two words that are to do with these ideas yet don't give too much away or have ambiguity when used with no context.
