Skyfall has a very typical James Bond-esque opening. Adele begins singing as soon as the cast members begin to be credited. Fade-in and fade-out effects are used on this text, and the text is sky blue coloured to match the ocean or the name of the movie, of which has the word sky in it. Behind the text, a series of events is occurring, however, none of them are related to the story line of the film. Due to the fact that it was the 50th anniversary of James Bond, I believe the opening credits designer wanted to make the credits very typically James Bond.
