Titles and fonts!

So right now my partner and I are thinking of a title for our film. We want something that relates to the deaf community, but still can stand by itself as a title. We want it to be short and concise, rather than something very long and symbolic. Mostly because it is a coming-of-age movie, and these films tend to have artsier names. Also, our target audience is teenagers and young adults, so they are most likely to be enticed by shorter titles rather than long ones that require more thinking to understand. Because of this, my partner and I have spent all weekend researching deaf culture and trying to find deaf vocabulary that would be enticing enough to use as our title. As of now, we haven't found anything that REALLY sticks out to us, but we have ideas.

We want something artsy, because that goes with our genre. We were thinking something like "Sound of ...", although it is kinda of overused among deaf movies. We already know movies like the Sound of Metal and the Sound of Fury, so we would have to do something unique if we were to go down this route. We also had and idea where we name our film "Birdcage". Birdcages are common symbolism of being or feeling trapped, which is something our main character struggles with. So, we think this is the best of both worlds in terms of what we are hoping to achieve: a short, easy-to-read name, and something that has symbolic meaning.

Moreover, we have also been looking at fonts for our movie title and credits. Since we plan to make the title so large, we want the font to be something eye-catching but simple. These are some examples we have found from fontsinuse.com that we will take into consideration:
