Different aspect ratio, more blocking and framing of shots, strategic use of objects to control sense of scale, shooting the dinosaur-human encounters through glass (or other “containers” basically) to elicit a claustrophobia response (I maybe be leaving one or two out). The sequels may have one of the above, but not all or they botch the implementation.

But it should also be noted that those techniques limit your storytelling ability. Those types of shots only work if you actually want a cloistered, dark/rainy, closeup environment looking through windows or whatever.
Sometimes filmmakers want that big, long, beautiful, clear, well framed, brightly lit shot.
