Tension and Suspense the Novel and the Opening Scene of the Film Jaws E

Tension and Suspense the Novel and the Opening Scene of the have Jaws Peter Benchley wrote Jaws the novel before it was made into a take away order by Steven Spielberg. Jaws is a thriller with the main aim being to build up suspense and tension. In the novel Peter Benchley uses many variations of language techniques to try important points that build up suspense. He in like manner uses sentence and separate structure to affect the reader in many different ways. Steven Spielberg on the other hand uses different camera angles and shots alongside lighting do to create aura and tension. In the background he uses music and rifle effects to add to the dramatic visual images he creates. Finally Steven Spielberg uses special dialogue to show the victims feelings and emotions. At the beginning of the pic the soft, relaxing subaqueous noises of communicating sharks instantly sets the scene and creates the feeling of being deep underwater. The beaten(pre nominal) beach sounds have a calming effect, which immediately lulls the audience into a false sense of security. The black screen that appears at the cash in ones chips of the film doesnt provide the audience with anything interesting to look at so the tension is strongly on the soundtrack. When the opening impute appear, the contrast between the bold, exsanguine credits and the plain black screen sincerely stands out. The white credits could symbolize the innocence and vulnerability of the victims against the black, evilness of the shark. As the credits start to roll the first note of the chilling Jaws music is struck. The peaceful aquatic sounds are abruptly interrupted by the slow, deliberate minor strokes ... ... him and Chrissie really creates atmosphere. Every time the camera switches to the boy the audience is reminded of how frantic the atmosphere around Chrissie is. The contrast of these two opposite atmospheres makes the attack seem remo te worse in the film than in the novel. I think that the film involves the audience more than the novel because the use of camera shots can lift the audience close to the action. The sharks eye view is a very full(a) shot and ultimately brings the audience into the middle of all the panic and confusion. It also build suspense as the audience can see only what the shark can see and when the shark is advancing towards Chrissies legs they know precisely what the shark is aiming for. When the attack is going on the close-ups at water aim make the audience feel like theyre in the water.
