Jamanji - Special Effects
   CGI was used in the opening title of Jamanji which made the title suit the theme and genre of the movie. The special effects at the beginning included SPFX with the smoke. This created the idea that something creepy was going to happen later in the film. They also used pyrotecnics to create lightning, which adds a scary touch which tells the audience the genre of the film. When the young boy was beaten up they used makeup and squibs on his lip, with the use of prosthetics, which shows that he had beaten up without showing the violence of the actual beating.
   There was a moral in the film, which was 'face your fears'. The camera angles are simple and linear making them easy to follow. We are also introduced to the main character who is the young boy. We also know that the film is going to be about whatever is in the box. An eary sound track was used to match the mood of the film and we were also introduced to some of the setting.
