RESEARCH: ART OF THE TITLE: SKYFALL



The Skyfall opening credits are shown as soon as James drowned and the mythical mind of Bond comes to life. After he sinks to the bottom of a riverbed,. We see a hand grabbing James’ whom we assume is another person, however it is revealed to be a giant hand, which we then immediately think that this is not real.

The opening credits are in all caps and in white against a blue backdrop, which makes it easy to read. The titles fade in and fade out. The production company for Skyfall is ‘Alberto R. Broccoli’s Eon Productions Ltd.’, which is named after one of the producers. The cast credit of Daniel Craig appears and then the main title logo does, which shows that he is the main actor. After the main title other actors are mentioned.

James begins to fight a man on the train; we can sense that already the scene leading up to the credits was action-packed. The lady controlling the gun is asked to shoot him, since she is about to lose them on the train. However, she accidently shoots Bond, which leaves everyone speechless, since people assume he would be dead. This all happens during the film’s quick and intense opening.

The colour scheme of the opening is shades of blue and grey, which is a result of Bond drowning in the river.
