Jumanji

How does the clip address the opening sequence conventions?

The opening sequence of Jumanji contains credits, it also gives an overview of the plot in a flashback which introduces the board game during the flashback, set in the 1860's , tension is created as it is dark and there is eerie diegetic sound. This contrasts the next scene, set in the 1960's, which is bright.

How does the clip meet the conventions of an adventure film?

At the beginning when the two people are burying the board-game shows that the genre is adventure by the music. This is because the music was suspicious and tension-raising. Also, the way the characters appear makes it seem adventurous by the fact they're in dark colours which are also tatty and the fact that they are covered in dirt also gives a sense that they have been on a stereotypical adventure. The dialogue implies that the board-game will come back and, supposedly, 'haunt' them.
