Perhaps most importantly, it shows the coordination that occurs between the Title Credit designer (Maurice Binder) and the other filmmakers (director Lewis Gilbert and editor Peter Hunt etc.) as the sync starts before the title credits and ends after the credits are over.
A nice touch by the filmmakers is that Frank Sinatra version of the song "Someone To Watch Over Me" is the secret underscore to his daughter's title song.
Another fun element is that Binder has a simple door key as part of a woman's jewelry as we hear the words "he carries the key." The key is directly above the woman's right eye. It isn't obvious as he has another piece of metal dangling down by it, but he does give the audience a clue when the camera goes in for a close-up (or at least 'closer up).
To the words "someone to watch over me" has:
A cop looking over Bond's corpse checking his eyes to see whether he's dead
A woman spying on the audience
A woman turning her head to look at the audience
A woman (in silhouette) looking down, thus (presumably) looking over someone
A man looking through binoculars at Bond's funeral as the camera pans in to Bond's obituary
