Movie titles
Six titles for your film. Keep the one that fits.
Choose a genre and add a few words from your story. Every card says how its title was built, so you can push it further.
Genre
Clocks, contracts and witnesses
Up to three, separated by commas: a character's name, a place, the thing everyone wants.
Editing a title or note keeps that card when you generate again.

Questions writers ask
How does the movie title generator work?
It mixes titles written for your genre with titles built around your own words. A title can open on your word, follow a strong image with it, or pair two images.
What if a film already has my title?
Films share titles often, and a script is usually retitled before it reaches a screen. Search your favorite anyway. If a well-known film already owns it, change a word or keep a different card.
How do I keep my titles?
Start the script in Plot: your first kept title goes on the title page and the rest are saved in a note that does not print. You can also copy the board or download it as Markdown.
Defined in the glossary
Title Page
A screenplay's cover page identifies the work and usually its writer and contact details. It precedes the story and does not count as page one.
Logline
One or two sentences that capture protagonist, conflict, and stakes — the shortest honest pitch of the story.
Genre
A category of stories that share conventions and promise the same kind of experience: horror promises fear, comedy laughter, mystery a puzzle solved. Genre shapes tone, structure and what counts as a fair surprise.
High Concept
A premise so clear and striking that one sentence sells it, such as "a bomb on a bus that explodes if it drops below 50 miles an hour."
