here are a few basic ideas i had of what the titles bring to mind:

Facing The Shadow :

• light vs dark,

good vs. evil - reminiscent of fantasy genre e.g Lord Of The Rings.
also could be action e.g Die Hard

• literal meaning- actually facing shadows/dark place - could be horror or thriller.
• facing yourself - hidden wants/desires, emotional turmoil.
• facing the uncertain- maybe uncertain future.

Making An Entrance:

• going to prom/dance/somewhere special - chick flick or rom com - trying to win over the guy/girl
  
• doing a bank raid or robbery - action/thriller
• new beginnings - starting a new job, moving to a new place, having a baby.
  

Refusal Is Pointless:

• lovers- one unsure the other certain - unwilling to give in - romance
• hostage situation - being held against their will - thriller
• sounds like a murder mystery title - who done it?
