Psychological Thriller Title Planning

We made a list of potential names for our thriller. We tried to think of names that sounded vague but linked back to the synopsis of our trailer. We thought 'The Missing' and 'Left Behind' were the best as they make an audience question what the film could be able as they are vague but they're also ominous enough to know the film will be a thriller.

We have decided on the name 'Left Behind' as we felt that the other could be mistaken for a documentary or a series on TV. We think the name we chose is best suited for our genre.

We experimented by writing some of the potential titles out in Photoshop and using different fonts to see which looked best.

We used mainly grey colours as this is ominous and mysterious. For one of the titles, we used a neutral red colour which has connotations of blood and danger. For 'Erased' we used a glow-like background with a lot of noise and saturation to suggest life falling apart, being erased.


We decided that left behind looked the best in a handwriting font called 'Brio' on powerpoint because it is creepy and makes the audience ask lots of questions.

We also chose left behind as a title because it has negative connotations attached to it.
The words have connotations of neglect and isolation. This links to our narrative as our locations are going to look like they are abandoned and forgotten about.
