Production Diary

Title Change:

We decided to change the name of our film from 'Cat And Mouse' to 'The Absence'. This is because we felt that there was not enough thrill or fear in our title from Cat And Mouse, and we felt that this title was boring and would not entice our target audience into watching our film. By changing the title of our film to The Absence, it creates a sense of mystery and missing, which is what we are trying to portray in our film. We felt that this name goes better with our film altogether, as the idea from Cat And Mouse was that the antagonist was chasing the protagonist, therefore wanting to capture her, however, without knowing what happens in our film, this could mean anything to the target audience. On the other hand, The Absence conveys that someone within our film is absent (missing) which is the exact narrative that we have come up with. Just by hearing this title, it is easy to tell the genre of our film, more so than it was from the name Cat And Mouse. Overall, we are more content with the new film name, rather than the old as it fits our genre better.
