Lord of the rings is a typical fantasy/action film, and fits with its conventions very closely. These are firstly that it contains creatures that cannot exist in real life, this is shown by the fact in the opening sequence we have the balrog which is a mythical fire demon and then gandalf who is a wizard. as we can see these are not real. Another convention is that it contains battles this fits with the conventions of it being a action film, we know this as we see a battle shown in the opening sequence.
The title is shown straight away as you would expect in an opening sequence, we also get a brief introduction to the main characters in the opening sequence as you would also expect in an opening sequence.
Rat Race
Rat race fits with the conventions of a comedy adventure very closely. These are firstly as it contains different humourous animation at the start where the bodies are animated and the heads are large and realistic.We are then introduced to all the main characters whilst the theme tune plays in the background, which is upbeat, adventurous african music. This is child friendly. We know this is an adventure film as throughout the title sequence we are seeing different things happening like the characters playing tricks on each other and moving about.
