Film Titles

The actual title of our film was unclear for a while, but we knew what approximate connotations it should possess. We knew that it should involve some sort of reference to Gothic Horror and not already be a film title. Furthermore, we wanted the title to be short, a word or two only as to draw our audiences attention to premise of the film. As the plot of our film is circumferences the idea of being buried alive, we decided to choose something that reflected the same idea: being trapped. Below are listed some of the words we considered.

Buried: Does not have a very Gothic 'vibe' and already a film title from 2010.
Confined: This had more of a rehabilitation/prison feel to it, which was not appropriate.
Trapped/Entrapment: Seemed too typical and 'teenage problem' like. Also not very Gothic and Entrapment is already a film from 1999.
Concealed: This made it sound like someone was attempting to hide something intentionally or had a secret. Again, not what we were looking for. 
Inhumed: A synonym for buried: Has the connotations of death and tombs- gothic.
Incarcerated/Restrained: Much like confined, it gives the impression of a more crime centered film. Restrained may call to mind psychiatric clinic or a hostage.

We then considered using antonyms to create juxtaposition such as:


Freedom: Not very gothic, otherwise, could have worked.
Release/Liberate: The tone of these words imply a joyful or happy event such as a granting of bail.
Independent: The essence of this calls to mind a child growing up. Definitely not what we are going for. 

To conclude, R.I.P was suggested to us. It it is Gothic, short, succinct and encompasses the ambiance of our film. 

The Voiceover

As mentioned in a previous post, we had considered doing a voice over of one of Ted Hugh's poems from his Crow collection. We decided to use A Kill and it was suggested to us to modify it so that it is more relevant to our film. The original poem runs thus:

Flogged lame with legs 
Shot through the head with balled brains 
Shot blind with eyes nailed down by his own ribs 
Strangled just short of his last gasp 
By his own windpipe
Clubbed unconscious by his own heart 
Seeing his life stab through him, a dream flash 
As he drowned in his own blood 
Dragged under by the weight of his guts 
Uttering a bowel-emptying cry which was his roots tearing out 
Of the bedrock atom 
Gaping his mouth and letting the cry rip through him as at a distance 
And smashed into the rubbish of the ground 
He managed to hear, faint and far - ‘it’s a boy!’ 
Then everything went black. 

Both poems are from the perspectives of the antagonists, an Brechtian idea that I, personally, find very interesting. We  also found the use of enjambment very effective and decided to use the same device in our altered version.We also needed to change the sex of the character, as our lead character is a woman.:

Alone in a graveyard
Waiting for someone long gone
Unaware that I am here
Watching
Soon to be
Clubbed unconscious by her own heart
Strangled just short of her last gasp
Seeing her life drain through her, a dream flash.
