Evaluation Question 1

Film Title
When it comes to titling, many films also include a subtitle, and inspired me to do it for my own, as it is an uncommon but not completely alien film convention.

Most of these films are sequels, and the subtitles is used to avoid the cliché of [film title] 2, [film title] 3 etc, and it is sometimes used in prequels, as the only other alternative is to add a zero to the end of the film (interestingly, there is a video game called Resident Evil 0, due to the fact it takes place before the first game, and Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is actually a prequel, despite sounding like a sequel to the first game).

Alien: Resurrection (1997) is the fourth film in the Alien franchise, and is the only one to feature a subtitle, as the second film is called 'Aliens' and the third is called 'Aliens 3' (The prequel is the only film in the franchise to not include 'Alien' in it's name, being called 'Prometheus' instead)














Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) is the second (and likely final) film in the Silent Hill franchise, using the subtitle as opposed to the number 2, although this is likely to stop confusion between the film and the video game from 2001.














Some films that are the first in their series also use subtitles, despite the fact there is not really a reason to do so.

Pirates of The Caribbean is notorious for using subtitles, with each film having one including the first, which was 'The Curse of The Black Pearl' (2003). In the case of this film, it uses it as a hint to the plot of the film, and this gave me the idea to use it for my own.

Another example of the first film in its series having a subtitle, much like my own, is Resident Evil Degeneration (2008).
Degeneration is the first film in the CGI series and the use of the subtitle is likely to stop confusion between this film and 'Resident Evil', which is the first film in the live action series.

There is also Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1997), although technically this was retitled to include a subtitle to clarify that the first 3 films in the franchise are actually the latter half of the whole franchise, chronologically.
