SUSPENSE LA1: The Most Dangerous Game

How does an author/ filmmaker create suspense?? Mysterious Setting Music Sound Effects A Surprise

Consider the following quotation from Hitchcock, rightfully knighted as the Master of Suspense: ‘We come to our old analogy of the bomb. You and I sit here talking. We're having a very innocuous conversation about nothing. Boring. Doesn't mean a thing. Suddenly, boom! A bomb goes off and the audience is shocked – for 15 seconds. Now you change it. Play the same scene, show that a bomb has been place there, establish that it's going to go off at 1 p.m. – it's now a quarter of one, ten of one – show a clock on the wall, back to the same scene. Now our conversation becomes very vital, by its sheer nonsense. Look under the table! You fool! Now the audience is working for 10 minutes, instead of being surprised for 15 second.'
