The Lion King

In the first scene of The Lion King there is loads of great camera angles. One of the camera shots is at the very beginning when it shows the sun coming up this is effective because it shows a new beginning. Although it is an animated film I think that they have used a good range of camera angles. Another camera angle that stands out to me is when the monkey holds Simba up and the camera is placed in a low angled shot, the effect of this is to show that they have more power over the audience.

The music in The Lion King is effective because when the music starts its made of pure vocal harmony's then the song gradually brings in musical instruments showing that everything starts of little and slowly grows.

They have a lot of close ups of different animals in there habitats. This is effective because its like everything is just waking up and getting ready to start a new day. Towards the end of the scene they use a close up to show all of the different animals together as one to show that even though they are all different and have different parts on the food chain they work together to go and see an important moment in Simba's life.
In the beginning scene you can tell that the main part of the storyline is about new life and new beginnings. We know that its a kids animation film by the happy beginning you can tell this by the peaceful settings as the sun started rising, as the beginning scene continued you can see lots of animals happily coming together as one.
