*the original title George Lucas had for STAR WARS. Not as good, right?
After reading countless spec titles in places such as The Black List and Done Deal Pro, I’ve come to the conclusion that my script really needs to undergo a name change.
DREAMSHIP
It sort of just…sits there, when instead it should be grabbing your attention and making you think, “Cool! I’ve gotta see this!”
Examples: BACK TO THE FUTURE. CHINATOWN. DIE HARD. See what I mean? Solid. Succinct. To the point.
I may go back to the original title – THE AMAZING DREAMSHIP ADVENTURE. It feels like it does a better job of conveying what the story’s about and what kind of ride you’re in for, but I wouldn’t put it past me to try and tweak it a little more.
It was also suggested that since this is more of a family-oriented kind of story, I should go the HARRY POTTER route and include the main character’s name. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
Having a good, strong title is key because it and the logline create the first impression. Do an effective job with that and you’ve got their attention. Just make sure the script/story can hold onto it.

Nice! But it sounds more like something you’d hear in a psychiatrist’s office, rather than encapsulating a ‘swashbuckling rollercoaster ride of a story’.
How about BRINGERS?
Never thought about going that route. Maybe expanding it to BRINGERS OF DREAMS?
Could work. I’m a big fan of one-word titles, personally. You could also flip it and go with THE MARAUDERS.
Also pretty good. The search for the right answer continues…
I rather like Dreamship as a title. Maybe The Dreamship but that word has some mystery to it. I don’t believe a longer title is necessarily a better one. Look at Flight of the Navigator, it ultimately ties into the story but the title is super generic.
Interesting. That does fall into my desire for a to-the-point title. A list of potentials may be in order.
