Sharpie - Title and connotations

Title and connotations

Our film is titles Sharpie. This is a reference to both the marker of the same name (which the antagonist uses to draw when he has attacked/killed someone) and the fact that weapons such as knives and axes (which our antagonist uses) are sharp. These two are binary opposites, this makes the title seem even more disturbing; markers tend to be associated with children and colouring - and therefore innocence - whilst weapons are related to death and destruction. These two together make the film title memorable and  somewhat punny which may attract our target audience of young adults as it may appeal to their sense of humour.
