Film Title influences

When thinking of the title for our film trailer, we decided to use the main characters name which is Jacob. We chose this name due to it's religious meaning.


The story of Jacob is in Genesis, and tells of a man called Jacob who leads a deceitful and sinful life in which he betrays several people. Jacob has a dream, in which he see's God at the top of a ladder signifying the bridge between heaven and earth. This significant moment in Jacob's life saves him as he becomes good.

We do not want out story to be directly inspired by the religious aspects of this story, however the meaning behind the story if reflected in out film by:
  • The old man can be interpreted as a saviour in the boys life leading him to good.
  • The narrative of the film reflects the change from bad to good.
