Film Opening Titles Timeline 1 - 'Skyfall' (2012)

Title Sequence Designer, Daniel Kleinman, created an immersing opening title to complement Bond's death in the opening scene. He described how "it was a great chance to make a moody transition into the titles". From his work in 'Skyfall' and previous Bond openings he described that creating opening titles for 'James Bond' movies has the opportunity to be very creative because of the traditional tension and bravura action that always opens up to. 

Below I have created a 'Film Titles Timeline' for 'Skyfall’ to demonstrate the different roles in film and indicate that job roles are shown in order of hierarchy. It is also important to consider that the more important roles such as 'Directed by Sam Mendes' have more 'screen time' due to their importance in the film. Moreover less significant roles, such as a 'Script Supervisor', 'Sound Recordist and 'Electrical Supervisor' will appear together in one title because of their importance. These conventions that occur are an important factor in the makeup of creating a opening credits.
