Title sequence analysis: The Lion King (1994)
In the opening sequence of ‘The Lion King’ there are only 3 titles presented. One of the titles is the classic Disney logo but the colour is different, there is a black background and the logo is orange/red. This connotes the Sun and sets the scene for the whole film (the savannah). We could use this in our title sequence by using a specific colour with our film logo to connote an idea to the audience.
The second title presents the film name and says ‘Walt Disney pictures presents’ the typography and font used is a dark red and very majestic. This links to the opening sequence as the clip is about a king being born. We could use specific typography to link the title to our film.
The third and final title is the actual film name and logo which simply reads out ‘The Lion King’ this title is played at the end of the opening sequence and is shown as a drum is struck. This is also in a majestic typography and font. This is because a royal scene has just been shown.
