Jaws: Mechanisms for the creation and release of emotions of fear and anxiety.
Sánchez, Jorge ; DOLENSKÝ, Martin (advisor) ; TRAJKOV, Ivo (referee)
This essay analyses how the emotions of anxiety and fear are created and released in suspense and thrilling scenes, using the film Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975) as an archetypal case to illustrate my thesis. It also endeavors to define concepts such as emotion and fear and to provide an insight into the basic psycho-physiologic mechanisms associated to processing emotions of fear. The author proposes a general classification or fear scenes, explaining their characteristics, enumerating the different audiovisual cues associated to each type as well as other techniques used to sustain tension throughout the chosen film.
