After much consideration and debating, I finally choose what to name my opening scene. But first I think I should trace my thought process, as it has probably been the hardest decision to make throughout this weeks. But maybe that's just me being indecisive.
When I first started this journey four weeks ago, and still thought I would go forward with my opening scene taking place eon the beach, I had an immediate name that I thought as perfect, Buried In Sand. I felt like it fit the initial theme of the drowning scene, mystery, suspense, etc. But with the change of setting, the name really stops fitting my project.
Now I have to take the new setting and changed in plot into account when thinking of a name. Taking place in a park, I think of trees, greenery, animals, picnics, etc. What I initially had as a name is good, but if I wanted something similar I had to translate it into the new scenery like the rest of my opening scene. Problem was, I didn't like anything I came up with that way.
So throwing away any resemblance to the first name I came up with, I had to connect it to something else. The characters. What they say, how they act. And as I have my complete script, I have landed in a name that perfectly summons the theme of my opening scene:
Gone.
