Suspense created in the film watched in class.

A while back, we watched a thriller film called: 'United 93'. It was about a hijack on a plane, when the 9/11 happened in Manhattan a few years ago. It created suspense because they always shown the hijackers again and again, and how they were saying 'We have to do this now' repeatedly. They showed alot of close-ups of the men, and their hands.
Also, by keeping the suspense running, you'd almost not think that othing's going to happen, but it does when you least expect it.
They showed how they put the bomb together and how they put the guns in their pockets. Then, when they bursted out in front of the people, they made sure that no-one left and had a gun in their hands all the time. It also created suspense when they killed the pilots and flew themselves, putting a picture of their target in front of them. Because they were shouting in a different language (Arabic), it made more suspense because you couldn't understand that language (if you don't speak it, of course) and it made it more tense because the people on board of the plane had no idea what was going to happen next.
Also, another thing is that the camera work was shaky, to indicate that the viewer was in the moment as well, so you could reaaly feel for the people and feel scared as well. There was alot of close ups, to show how the people were feeling and that how they kept showing the guns and bombs over and over again.
Also, when it went silent, you knew that something wouoold happen, because everything was in slow motion.
