Film Titles

As a group we discussed many different options for film titles, and we managed to narrow it down to one.
Title 1; 1974- We decided that this could be a straight forward yet powerful title as it was the year that Bonnie went missing. We thought this would have some depth to it as well as the audience wouldn’t initially think of a horror film when they saw it, however we decided against this title as it wasn’t complex enough and wasn’t as powerful as we wanted our title to be.

Title 2: MISSING- Again we decided that we liked the straight forwardness of this title, however we felt it was very cliché and therefore we didn’t believe this title would catch the audiences eye

. Title 3: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF BONNIE LAWSON- We got the idea of this title from the film ‘The exorcism of Emily Rose’ We really liked how it reminded us of a newspaper headline, But the only problem with this title was that it was a long title and we had researched other horror films and their titles we short, snappy and striking and this caught the audiences eye, for example ‘Insidious’ and  ‘The Possession’

Title 4: DISAPPEARANCE - After deciding ‘THE DISAPPEARANCE OF BONNIE LAWSON’ was too long, we decided that just ‘DISAPPEARANCE’ would be more striking, we had a rule that we would just have one worded titles. However we thought that just like ‘MISSING’ this would be too cliché and sounded more like a documentary than a horror film. Title 5: EXODUS- As we liked Disappearance we decided to research into synonyms of it. We found the word ‘EXODUS’ and decided that it was mysterious, and striking. It also sounded like names of other horror films for example ‘Insidious’
