The final title- 'Oblivious'

The group has now agreed on a final title, after lots of debating and questioning as to what we should call it, we have arrived on 'Oblivious'. This is because oblivious means to be very much unaware of something that is happening around you, and this is a main theme in our thriller introduction; nobody knows the true side to Joseph's character and his motives, making the title 'Oblivious' a perfectly fitting title.

Some other previous ideas we had for a title were 'Joseph', 'Interloper'. Joseph is the name of our main character, and so we thought perhaps play it simple and call the piece 'Joseph'; a tribute to the character and his unforgettable intentions. This title would also keep the piece ambiguous and would leave interpretations directly up to the audience, which sounds like a good idea. However we decided not to do 'Joseph' as we felt like we could get a title to be more instantly effective and ultimately more suitable.

Interloper was another idea that we were once considering, which is a word to describe a person who gets associated with a place or situation where they are not wanted or should not be, but then some more considerations at this title and we decided not to. This was mainly due to the fact that Interloper doesn't really sound suitable for our introduction, and sounds more like a Sci-Fi title.

So we thought 'Oblivious' would be the best title to do, and we are all happy and content with this title for our thriller introduction.
