I think that the filmed title, The Runner, was the more effective title because it included a better font for the titles and included first-hand camera-work, which the second, The Hit, did not include.
What Went Well: It had images that linked directly to the narrative. The titles linked well to the narrative and the images in the titles as the colour sticks-out to the audience in the vibrant colours of the images, as well as the font bearing resemblance to text used by clubs and nightclubs which suggest the setting of the narrative.
Even Better If: Better sources and possible computer animated instead of several still images.
What Went Well: The scene immediately links to the narrative due to the sock hanging out of the trainer, which links to one of the main characters, the runner. The font can be easily seen and catches the audiences attention as the titles appear and disappear.
Even Better If: There were more shots as there are not many shots used. Handling of the camera can also be improved.
For our opening scene we will use the plain white text but have it scroll across the screen so that it is easy enough for the audience to read on the darker background.
