The Opening of The Emperor's New Groove:
Uses micro and macro features very effectivley within it's opening. Below is a account of some of the more prevelant ones:
Micro features:
In the opening shot of the jungle, low key lighting is used and the darkness connotes that it is night time.
There is also a Non Diegetic voice over from emperor kuzco, which tells his back story as he is a lama and cannot speak any language you presume this is his thoughts, there is also a slight about of reverb on his voice making it seem reminiscent.
Halfway through the voice over flashback editing is used to show you a clip of kuzco as a human which matches with the “dreamy ” voice over.
Gold is also used as a representation of kuzco’s wealth in particular his gold comb with diamonds puts this point across effectively.
Along with the flashback of kuzco’s past funky music is used, to connote it was happy time for him.
Macro features:
The film opens with a establishing shot of a jungle.
The setting then changes to a Mayan or Aztec city.
The opening credits co-inside with the funky music as they a bright and colourful this adds to the happy mood.
This happy mood and light story book type tale makes this film a effective family film.
Finally the film leaves of on a hook making the viewer want to figure out the story of how kuzco becomes a lama.
