Film Title

Originally we had planned to put the protagonists name in the title on its own. The protagonist is called Glen and the film would focus on him throughout and we wanted to connote this in the title. Then we realised that this would not fit our research on genre conventions of British comedies. As the film is a parody we decided to denote this in the title. Similar to "Shaun of the dead" which is a parody to "dawn of the dead"

As our film is parodying the spy genre we wanted to change one word in an existing spy movie to Glen. Ideas were Live and Let Glen, From Russia With Glen and The Spy That Loved Glen but we felt that these titles didn't match the narrative.

We then decided not to include Glen in the title and came up with Live And Let Spy as our title. This parodies the James Bond film Live And Let Die.
