Suspense Is a technique often used in Books, TV Drama, Soaps and especially Films. It is a device specifically used build tension in order to keep the audience engaged, in a state of anxiety, excited and desperate to watch on and see what happens next.
The use of Suspense in a Film, is a key ingredient necessary for allowing the audience a sense of involvement and keeping them gripped to their seats. Particularly in the Thriller and Horror genres, this is a tool that allows us as a viewer to feel uneasy and gives us a big hint that something is going to happen.
An example of a movie that uses suspense is Jaws, they build tension and suspense with the music allowing the audience to know that the shark is coming. Also Psycho uses suspense memorably in Bates' office when the tension music is built, the stuffed animals are all around looking menacing and she is made to look small. The audience knows something is going to happen to Lila.
