The title sequence opens with a long shot of moving clouds, they are moving quickly which could symbolize time passing quickly as a teenager. throughout the title scene different shots change quickly so you barely get a glimpse of a shot before it moves onto the next one. All the different themes of skins are shown during the title sequence as well as all the different characters are shown.
A close up shot of a pint of beer with bubbles rising to the surface could signify childish behavour or just generally having fun. then thiers a extreme close up of someone rolling a spliff which may be because one of the main features shown in skins is drugs so it could be repesenting this theme. All the different relationships in skins and then shown throughout the title sequence from couples to best friends to broken up friendships. all this could of be used to give you a quick glimpse into the story.
The sound used in the opening starts off quiet while the shots are slow and while the sound progressely quickens so do the shots and transitions.
The end of the title sequence changes depending on which character the episode is going to focus on for instance for sid's episode at the end it zooms into him putting on his hat which is a signature item for him.
