marathon man opening title sequence




marathon man has a great use of sound effects such as the breathing, foot steps to help build up the revealing of the character (dustin hoffman), they also use alot of danger sound effects (sudden pierce sounds) to switch from shot to shot.
The director used tracking shots in which he tracked with the jogger through the streets of new york ect.
The director also used close up shots at the begging to show the runners facial expressions and also when the other character was taking things out the safety box.

They also done a shot when they focused on the shadow of the runner which also added to the building of suspense.

The title sequence was small but bold and faded in and out when the next text would come in.

At the beginning of the title sequence their is a documentary feel to it, which makes us think their is some history behind the film and also makes it feel abit more suspenseful.
