In this openings the first thing I noticed was the film titles were sunrise colours such as orange yellow and red, these are specific to the country the film is set in which is Africa, and the wild. The next thing you see after the film titles in a sunrise which is an establishing shot. The sunrise could be a metaphor for new birth as its the birth of new day. The next couple of shots you see are mid-shots and long-shots of various animals, which appear to be stopping what they are doing and looking up at something. Following this are birds-eye views and landscape shots which display herds of animals travelling somewhere. The music used in the opening can be classed as light-hearted and is about new lives and new beginnings which links into the idea of the sunrise and the wild. There is a significant shot of the elephants moving towards the camera, the camera angle is pointing up-wards to make the elephants appear larger, this shows the larger animals over rule the smaller mammals as there are birds running away in fear of being stomped on.
