Potential names for characters and title

Potential character names:













Our opening sequence features three characters who play a major role in the plot of the film. Above are the potential names for our characters who will be cast in our opening sequence. We decided to go for the name Sophia as the Victim, Paul as the kidnapper, and David as the father. This is because we think these names are modern, up-to-date and also suit the genre of our film. We felt that the name Sophia suggests innocence and purity which is symbolic of the victim in our opening sequence. The name also fits the image of the stereotypical teenage girl that we are aiming for. The father is a standard father, who is protective over his daughter and overwhelmed by what has happened. As a group we decided that the name David suggests this and is a typical name for a father in the modern day. The kidnapper's name 'Paul' is a regular name which we chose for the kidnapper. This was selected randomly because usually there is no particular name that might specifically suggest the role of a kidnapper.

Potential title names:

















After assessing all the title options presented above, we decided that our thriller would be called 'The Captive'. We chose this title because it best suited the concept of our film. The girl who was kidnapped is taken randomly from the streets after being watched over multiple days by the kidnapper. The victim was essentially 'captured' from a well suited and close dynamic neighbourhood, thus the name 'The Captive'. My group and I feel that the name 'The Captive' illustrates suspicion and projects a mysterious feel. We all agreed on this name for the simple reason that we like the unknown vibe that it presents.
