The first element that is used very effectively within the film can be seen in the opening scene. We see a female swimming in the water and she is snagged by something. She is thrown about by an unseen creature and taken under, only a reddening of the water remains afterwards. By the audience not seeing the creature that is doing this horrible deed it creates a great deal of sus

These editing styles, whether long takes or quick cuts, as well as the other techniques mentioned (sound, frame work, and music) are used to get a purposeful feeling from the audience. When the director wants the audience to feel a certain emotion then they must convey this through the 2-dimensional world that is going to be set before them. While shooting Jaws Spielberg thought as much about how the audience would react to a scene as he thought about how a scene would look on film (the primary thought of a director). Jaws would not have been the suspense filled thriller that it is if not for the careful work of the film crew. They thought about how the audience would react to each scene and they molded the film together for the audience to experience as much as watch.

The framing of Jaws is very interesting at times. Many directors like to use close ups to get the audience to look at a particular item. In the end sequence of Hitchcock's Rebecca there is a close up of an 'R' in the burning room that Ms. Danvers is in. This is shown to the audience to show that it is Rebecca's room. Spielberg knew there were times when he wanted the audience to center on a certain area, but he wanted it to be scary. What is the use of showing a close up of water when the shark jumps out of it, there is no reference to the people in a close up shot of that nature, so there is not as much reason for the audience to experience fear within the shot. Spielberg used people to block sections of the frame so the audience only had one place to look. Towards the end of the film Chief Brody is throwing some 'shark bait' out for the shark. In the frame there are three areas. The entire bottom of the frame is the boat, which Brody is standing on. On the majori
