A memorable childrens film character.

An introduction to a childrens character i will always remember is simba from the lion king, the start of the scene shows various animals as they hear a noise as the sun rises up over dramatic landscapes and they then head to the place the noise has come from which is the lions den where simba has just been born. The background music starts off fairly calm and then becomes more dramatic as the scene goes further on. The scene is memorable because it shows the birth of the cub to be very important to the animals and the way that he is held up to everyone as the camera spins around shows that he is the centre of attention and has not gone unnoticed by other characters. The camera spinning round and the way there is a bright light on simba also helps to show his importance to the viewer. When the monkey is putting the fruit on simbas head it shows a point of view shot from simba of what he can see the monkey doing. When the monkey is standing on the rock with simba the view zooms out from a close up to an extreme long shot right at the end from the side. The way the scene goes from sunrise to mid day helps to build the dramaticness of the scene with the lighting because of the light increasing to a bright sunny day from darkness it really helps to emphasise the importance of simba as he is introduced in the brightest part of the day.
