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

Tension and scruple the Novel and the Opening Scene of the Film Jaws Peter Benchley wrote Jaws the clean sooner it was made into a pic directed by Steven Spielberg. Jaws is a thriller with the chief(prenominal) aim being to build up suspense and tension. In the refreshed Peter Benchley uses many variations of language techniques to emphasise important points that build up suspense. He also uses sentence and paragraph structure to affect the contributor in many antithetic ways. Steven Spielberg on the other hand uses different photographic camera angles and shots alongside lighting effects to create atmosphere and tension. In the background he uses music and sound effects to add to the salient visual images he creates. Finally Steven Spielberg uses specific dialogue to show the victims tintings and emotions. At the beginning of the film the soft, relaxing underwater noises of communicating sharks instantly sets the dead reckoning and creates the f eeling of being deep underwater. The familiar beach sounds have a calming effect, which immediately lulls the interview into a false sense of security. The ominous screen that appears at the start of the film doesnt provide the audience with anything raise to look at so the focus is strongly on the soundtrack. When the rise credits appear, the contrast between the bold, white credits and the plain discolour screen really stands out. The white credits could symbolize the innocence and photograph of the victims against the black, evilness of the shark. As the credits start to roll the first differentiation of the chilling Jaws music is struck. The peaceful aquatic sounds are abruptly break off 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 deuce opposite atmospheres ma kes the attack teachm far 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 bring the audience close to the action. The sharks look view is a very good shot and ultimately brings the audience into the middle of all the panic and confusion. It also build suspense as the audience can see exactly what the shark can see and when the shark is advancing towards Chrissies legs they know exactly what the shark is aiming for. When the attack is release on the close-ups at water level make the audience feel like theyre in the water.
