The style of the credits is very basic and look like the times new roman font in my opinion. The Armageddon title is bright red and fiery which I think is supposed to represent the sun and links in with the storyline of the film.

Last as they are more important plus he is part of the Ace which means that they are part of the

honorary film society.

Director of Skyfall is Sam Mendes but is not mentioned in the opening credits.

Soundtrack for this opening scene is Adele's singe Skyfall which was made specifically for the film. The music plays throughout the opening scene

and the music is very eerie and dark which matches the shots and the storyline played along

side these opening titles.

Font style is the same throughout the titles and the credits are the same font as the film title, white basic font like Arial or Calibri.

Continuous shot including tracking shots as well as panning shots without a cut. During the first part of the storyline after the change of scene still all shots are tracking shots but have cuts in-between each shot.

The fist soundtrack Is vow for revenge by brain Tyler which is a quite but upbeat tune. The second Sound track is Payback by Juicy J, future, Kevin gates and sage the Gemini, this is for the first part until 4:04 when the scene and music change, then the soundtrack changes to Offset by TI and Young Thug. Both songs are very upbeat to match the action and excitement during the opening credits.

The style of writing is silver block capitals that look like steel which is related to the film opening and the rest of the film.

All names flash on the screen white with a white cube on the side which is how 80’s computers used to type.

The writing then flashes off the screen in a bright green colour. The font just reminds me off 80s text

and typing from other films that I have watched which hints that technology may be a big part of this film.
