Jaws (1971)

You're gonna need a bigger boat scene

I thought this scene was interesting from an editing point of view because of how music is used to build tension.



Often in this scene they cut to character reaction and then show the characters perceptive on what they are seeing. I thought that this was an interesting order of building tension because we at first we know there is something happening but the viewer is left in suspense until the next show which is their perspective.

Again we can see how this has been used frequently in this scene. I find that it is good at building suspense. The slow cuts that have been used in this scene also allow for tension to be built. Each cut is around 10 seconds or longer which would not be used in a scene where there is fast paced action.
