Adventure opening sequence micro elements - The Lion King

The Lion King
In the opening sequence of The Lion King, it shows the setting and location of the film. There are no human characters in this film, as they are all animals which is suited for the target audience and keeps them engaged as children are fascinated by animals. 

Bright colours are used to capture the attention of the audience. its set in the plains of Africa, and the music to go with the opening sequence links, as it is native singing from African tribes. It introduces the main character as a baby lion cub, and all of the other animals run together around to see him, its a montage of shots. this shows he is a important character. This sets the story line, as the film is revolved around this main character and it shows that he is the kings son in the film, which makes him the leader of the pack when he is older. 
By showing the new born cub it allows the audience to build a relationship with him and makes him a likable character, as well as you get to know him.
