After our first draft, we decided that instead of conforming to usual conventions of a crime mystery film, we would subvert them instead. Instead of using the detectives name as the title we decided to use the words "Red herring" instead
The definition of a red herring is "a figurative expression referring to a logical fallacy in which a clue or piece of information is or is intended to be misleading, or distracting from the actual question". We chose this because its meaning connotes that the clues he may receive during the film may be misleading and distract from the true culprit.
Even if our target audience doesn’t know what the meaning of 'Red Herring' is, the colour red itself has connotations of blood, anger and danger; all of which will be included in our plot.
