Common editing used:

• Common editing techniques used were the shot/reverse/shot between animals and humans as well as jump shots when going from one part of the jungle to another. 

Some elements that Jumaji had that I felt fit my genre well were the types of editing, sound, and some of the camera angles. They all worked well with the genre and its goal to the end viewer. Overall it had a great representation of the genre. 

Somethings that I did not like about it when it compared to the genre was the type of mis-en-scene they used. They did not fit the genre the best as other films have because they included items and specific details such as the lighting that does not fit the description of adventure the best.
