Titles

The titles in this film follow the same style from the previous in the “Bond” franchise, The titles open with Bond sinking into a river after plunging down a waterfall. A hand rises up and grabs Bond and begins dragging him to the bottom of the lake this symbolizes Bonds broken state of mind. Throughout the sequence the titles show some of Bonds upcoming foes and fears and also things from his past which he will have to come to terms with.

Music

The music used in the opening sequence also hits to the contents of the film, with large links to the lyrics playing a big part in the song.
“This is the end" , This is when he gets shots and falls off a bridge. When it then says "hold your breath and count to 10" this has a strong link to the scene going on in the opening sequence. After falling off the bridge this suggests that he was holding his breath as he sank into the water. “Overdue I owe them” This could suggest that Bond has finally be killed. “Skyfall is where we start” Skyfall is the place Bond was born so this starts off the next part of the movie after the opening sequence.
Some quotes from the chorus link to the main content in the film, “Stand tall at Skyfall” this is the scene where Bond takes M to Skyfall to hold up against Silvia and his men.
“When it crumbles” links to the final battle between Bond and Silvia where the house is destroyed in an explosion.
