How does the director Stephen Spielberg use filmic techniques to build suspense and tension in the opening sequence of the film ‘Jaws’? The 1975 summer blockbuster ‘Jaws’ based on the best selling novel by Peter Benchley The film opens with a chilling black screen and the non-digetic sound of little bubbles popping in the distance.

keep something covered... Jaggard may be some kind of a spy‚ this has more of a detective novel than it looks like a James Bond story.

Critical Analysis Essay An Enemy of the People *By Henrik* Ibsen In “An Enemy of the People‚” Henrik Ibsen adopts the theme that the majority of people are always wrong. This is to say that if one wishes to find truth in the world he must look to the minority of people. There is great wisdom in these words.

Speilberg has done this so you think ‘Why was Alex eaten?’ when there were better people the shark could of picked.
