Me and Andreina are working on our opening's title. I researched mystery movies and notices a common pattern, a lot of them are only 1 or 2 words.
We also wanted to have some symbolism in the title, and wanted to symbolize on how Aurora kept fighting for Adaliah. We also took into consideration the symbolic meaning of a semicolon, meaning a battle against depression and mental health. Our idea is about putting a single word and then the semicolon as a title. Ex. here; or left;.
I searched up gone synonyms, which none of the words really worked for our title. However, I saw the word "end" and thought that using it before a semicolon may mean that even though Adaliah's story is done, Aurora's isn't.
Looking through synonyms for end, I also came across remnant, which honestly sound good to us for the title:
-end;
-remnant;
-remains;
Honestly, we liked remains the most, so I decided to keep searching through the web of synonyms and look up similar words to "remains". The synonyms for remains were way too vulgar for us to use as a title and not make it sound like a thriller/ horror genre.
Like using corpse, body, cadaver, or carcass would shape the intro into an entirely different mood than we want, we want sorrow and mourning, and using titles like that would steer our genre off. Also, remains can be interpreted in several ways that ALSO apply to the plot. Aurora is hanging on to what remains of Adaliah, Adaliah's death, and that Aurora barely has anything that remains of Adaliah. The semicolon is meant to symbolize both the mental health issues in the opening but also the fact Aurora continues fighting for her best friend's justice.
