The title that we chose for our film was 'Sins of the Marytr'. This title is a play on the idiom 'sins of the father', but exchanging 'father' for 'martyr' as rhyme and it still flows just as well. The result of this exchange is an oxymoron - martyr's are usually considered pure, without sins, however here the title is talking about them as if they have sinned. This creates an enigma, leaving the audience wondering how the 'martyr' has sinned, who the marytr is, and why this title has been chosen. Our choice of title is typical of the action genre, in which many films choose complex and enigmatic titles. In particular the James Bond series, who use titles such as 'Tomorrow Never Dies', 'You Only Live Twice' and 'For Your Eyes Only'.
