I have decided to choose the title 'The Intruder' for my thriller. I have found in most thrillers, the title is directly linked to the plot. For example, in the film Phone Booth the whole story was based around a man who is held captive in a phone booth. Other films that have taken this approach are The Sixth Sense, Face Off, Psycho, The Godfather, Fight Club, Panic Room etc.
When discussing the title with some people from my target audience, they were in favour of it, liking its simplicity and connection with the plot. Comments included:
"In some films you find the title doesn't have anything to do with the plot, which gets kind of confusing. I like the way "The Intruder" immediately tells you something about the plot."
"I like the title because it instantly grips you and makes you want to find out more, like who The Intruder is and what impact he has on the film."
"The title gives a sense of suspense which makes you want to watch the film to find out who the intruder is."
I feel the title "The Intruder" is a simple yet effective title and will grip the audience, leaving them wanting to find out more.
