in the first 2 minutes of the film it starts of with an establishing shot of an exotic jungle to set the scene for the audience and sub plot of the film by giving a sense of adventure.Then the antagonist character Indiana Jones walks in front of the mid shot showing the audience who is the leader of the group.The directer then cuts to a discover slashing leaves to get to a barely made out relic symbol which instantly gives the audience a sense of fear because of the way the discoverer sprints away from the relic which could be a recognised warning,and as the group realises what he has run away in fear from,Indiana Jones (the main antagonist) shrugs of the warning by looking at it and turning away from it in the shrubbery.The directer then does a final impact shot where he has a close up on a arrow in a tree with the group walking timidly past the tree suggesting the realisation of what the group are walking into,this gives the audience the effect of death which the arrow represents,it could also represent that colonies have driven out or killed trespassers in the position the group are in the south American jungle.
