Packaging: Titles, Thumbnails & Hooks

Working title

Also called: placeholder title

A project file needs a name on day one, long before anyone knows what the finished video is really about. That placeholder is the working title. Keeping it plain helps, because a title that already sounds decent tends to survive to publish through inertia rather than because anybody tested it against alternatives. Draft the real candidates once the edit is locked and the video has shown you what it turned out to be.
