We chose the title for our film to be 'Grow Your Own'. Our reasoning behind this is that it is an euphemism/innuendo therefore it has two meanings and it is up to the audience to decide which way they would like to interpret it. Originally we were going to set the film in an allotment and make it as if the gangsters kill people and bury them to make their vegetables and flowers grow. Therefor it would link in nicely with the title 'Grow Your Own'. From this idea we came up with names such as 'Beetroot' and 'Flower Pots' etc. Unfortunately we decided to slightly change the plot of our film so that our main character loses all sanity as he rises up in status and supremecy and one by one kills off his loyal men. As we were so keen on the title we decided to keep it and fortunately it still related to our film well. I am really pleased with the choice of our title as it doesn't immediately make our genre obvious, it also allows the audience to make their own interpretations of the film. The title does have connotations of drugs but also emphasises the derogatory term.
