Edit any title and note why it fits. ### Open the script with its title Start a screenplay in Plot with your title on its title page and the other contenders saved in a note that does not print. ## How to use it 1. 1 ### Choose a genre Pick thriller, mystery, fantasy, science fiction, horror, romance, drama or comedy. 2. 2 ### Add your story's words Type up to three words from the script, separated by commas: a name, a place, the thing everyone wants. 3. 3 ### Keep and refine Keep a favorite and generate again. The first card you keep is the one that goes on the title page. ## How to read the result Each title follows a pattern film titles use: a name on its own, a strong image followed by a place, two images side by side. The card names its pattern so you can write your own variation. A working title only has to carry you through the draft, but search a favorite before you send the script out. ## 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](https://www.inkwell.software/glossary/title-page) [A screenplay's cover page identifies the work and usually its writer and contact details.
