Gone:explained

The title of our thriller opening is 'gone', the simple effectiveness of a short word creates a sense of mystery as it does not give away too much to the audience. We wanted something that would leave the audience wanting more, all the best thriller films have short titles, for example; Psycho, seven and Inception. Based on the great success of these films we opted for something short. 'Gone' connotes that something has disappeared which is what we wanted as the plot of our film is a kidnapping, however, the short but effective one-word title does not suggest to what may have gone missing. To keep the audience guessing but interested is key.

Personally, I think the audience will respond positively towards our title because it is suggested to what genre of film is it as it is not a positive title and it is easy to remember, other than the incredibly popular 'Gone Girl' it has only been used by a couple of films, neither of which have done very well.

  1. Sounds like a good name - and you've carefully justified the significance of the title. Well done.
