Editing of opening scene of Jumanji

For this film we looked at the editing done throughout the opening scene. There were various different editing effects used, all in a continual fashion. There were cut shots used throughout and also some parallel editing. On top of this there was diegetic sound. These types of editing were used to create tension amongst the scenes and make the film appear more exciting and interesting.


The film includes various micro-elements such as, upbeat music, storyline that is simple and easy to understand and a basic plot. There was drama in the opening sequence, when one character put a shoe through a blender, this keeps the audience amused and want to continue watching the film. The film also has a meaning to it, from what we see at the start the boy is being bullied, and the farther tells the son to 'face his fear', this is designed to teach young viewers not to be afraid of others!
