Working title/name progression

Over time I have been brainstorming and starting to form ideas about the title in which I want to use for my documentary. I have come up with multiple different ideas however I am unsure if I want to pose a question as my title, or a fact/metaphor-based title. For example, I really like the idea of '1 man a minute, I feel like this name really puts my topic into perspective as I feel a lot of people are unfamiliar with this fact. In my opinion, a title that works as more of a statement would work far better than a question for this topic, as there isn't really a certain answer, it is indefinite.

However, a title that works as a question will enable me to centralize my documentary and creat a provisional answer for the topic. For example 'What is the impact of rising awareness for men's mental health?' and 'is the problematic issue of men's mental health able to be mitigated?'. However, in a subject like this, I would like to explore multiple contributing factors, not just can be reduced.

However, both of these ideas are only provisional and are working titles so they're subject to change in the near future, however, I am confident that the final title will follow one of these structures.

His filming techniques and theories influenced the Dziga Vertov Group, a radical filmmaking collective active from 1968 to 1972, as well as the cinéma vérité style of documentary filmmaking. His most famous film was Man with a Movie Camera (1929). This film portrays a day in a Russian city, however, it was filmed in several cities over 4 years. Vertov was heavily influenced by Eisenstein's use of montage and his aesthetic was driven by his political beliefs as a communist. Vertov believed that film truth should be captured, which is fragments of the actuality that, when organized together, have a deeper truth that cannot be seen by normal people. Vertov's Kino-Pravda focused on everyday experiences, eschewing ...
