Skyfall Opening Credits
The opening credits to Skyfall starts off showing a scene where a man is drowning. No one at this moment of watching the film knows who thsi man is. The credits of the film actors, makers and producers are then introduced throughout this scene. It may be clear to some people that when the person is shown on screen, their name appears. For example, When James Bond was shown, the actors name , Daniel Craig was shown. This also happened for the actress Naomie Harris as she appeared on screen.
The theme song 'Skyfall' by Adele was made particularly for this film. The James Bond films always include having some sort of sexual relationship, Skyfall also includes this. The song Skyfall is quite seductive and can relate to the film.
Skyfall is a very effective example to show opening credits. It is very different to many other films as many just go straight into the film. However, this is very common for many James Bond films as their opening credits always go on for a maximum amount of time. The colours of the film in the background give the atmosphere a gloomy and dull look. The way how Daniel Craig is introduced shows him as a silhoutte. This could suggest that he is mysterious and no one really knows who he is.
Towards the end of the credits, a clip of blood in water all forming together to make a skull can suggest that something evil in this film will eventually be shown. The colour red of the blood can also show that it is a warning. The sign of warning is also shown right before the end of the credits where it shows blood raining onto a graveyard. This could give the audience thinking why is this occuring. The film ends by the camera zooming into the pupil of the eye which then fades into a black screen only showing the directors name in white writing.
