An example of this is when Simba (Lion King Cub) is in the Jungle with his friends and they are all in a good, jolly, happy mood that they start singing and the song they sing (A coona matada) is an extremely jolly, happy song that when everyone hears it they themselves become happy, so it emphasises how the friends are all having fun in the jungle, as it is a fun, happy song which has words in it that sound as if they belong in the jungle. It is also a song that sounds a bit like it is sung by young, free, fun loving rebels which is sort of what they are so it doubles the impact of the actions that they are doing in the jungle such as eating bugs. The producers use music at that part of the film very effectively.
The producers also manage to use light very effectively in the film to give of a certain impact that they want. This is shown at a part of the film when the hyenas have just turned on their master Scar (Simba’s uncle) and as a big fight has just occurred there is a lot of fire around. As the hyenas are circling Scar they give of shadows from the fire, which makes them grow larger so to Scar, they seem more dangerous and powerful as they are larger and also the light shines on their faces in a way that lights up their eyes so they seem more evil, dangerous and scary. They use light at this part of the film very effectively to emphasis the impact of the hyenas encircling and they seem a lot more powerful, dangerous, evil and threatening. Light is used extremely effectively here to emphasis the hyena’s hatred, power and danger to Scar.
Also in the film there is good use of sound effects which makes the actions that they occur with a lot more realistic, and they make it seem easier to believe that what is going on is actual true and that you are in the film there and that it is not just something made up that you are watching. This occurs in the film when there is a stampede and as the Lion king (Simba’s dad) is trying to clamber up the rocks to escape death, (just before he is knocked down again by hiss brother Scar) and as he hits loosen rocks which then fall, you hear extremely realistic noises of the rocks, such as them bouncing of the cliff lower down and then hitting the floor in the distance which may only seem like a little thing but it makes that part of the film a lot more dramatic because instead of just seeing your hearing also tells you that if he falls now then he will die.
The producers and directors manage to use light, sound and music extremely well and in the right places to make The Lion King an extremely good film and for most of the film you seem as if you are there with the animals and they also manage to make you get the atmosphere that is going on between the animals, so you understand the feelings, emotions and actions of the animals a lot better than you would without all of these.
