Coming up with the title

To begin with, we had the name 'Trapped' in mind and used this name throughout our pre-production and production, but now we are at the post-production point and we chose to get a title with more meaning and research into making a thriller title. To the left is why we chose to change it.


To come up with the new title, we got a range of words and phrases and chose from them.
Our list included:

• Imprisonment
• Absence
• Abuse
• Adversary
• Allegation
• battery
• Bystander
• Capture
• Duty
• Flee
• Goodguy
• Influence
• Lethal
• Loyalty
• Missing
• Qurrel
• Rogue
• Vilgilance
• Unjust
• Vindicator
• Trapped

Our first thought was to go ahead with 'Trapped' but from the audience feedback we chose to change the title and give them an option to help us proceed, which are all the options above. From this (to the left) we came to conclusion that Absence would be the best option.


Absence: We have chosen this title because it represents our whole film's plot. It isn't as blunt as 'Trapped' was but creates slight enigma which was intended by most of the options.
