I'm new to screenwriting, as new as one can get. I've never written a screenplay and have only ever created book titles. I've been reading Blake Snyder's "Save the Cat" as a makeshift manual for creating my idea. He recommends creating a title first. Yet, I'm having a challenging time making one that seems accurate to my story while at the same time capturing the interest of the audience. Here's my "what-is-it":
"Bestie college grads become their own detectives when the local bride is murdered at a wedding they attend." Also, if you have any advice on perfecting my summary, that would be appreciated also. This is the only current title I have made up that I like:
"If Cakes Could Kill" because the bride is poisoned through her wedding cake.
Maybe my idea is crap, maybe my title is crap, maybe it's ALL crap. I don't know where to begin; I need advice!
