Developing Film Names

We decided to take influence from film names such as A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction and One flew over the Cuckoos Nest, and come up with a film name that is relevant to the film but is more poetic and composed.
We researched themes related to schyzophrenia, psychology, mental illness etc. We also researched synonyms to words like "insane" "mental" and "crazy" and finally came up with 2 phrases linked to these words that we felt suitable for our film name, "Out to Lunch" and "Bats in the Belfry".
We chose "Bats in the Belfry" because it was a more classic proverb when refering to the insane. We then changed the name to "A Bat in the Belfry" to suggest the isolation of the central protagonist. "Out to Lunch" is being considered for a tagline instead.
