For example in this picture you can see the blood on the floor which automatically signals alarms bells someone or something is in danger so it shows a creation of suspense and tension.Suspense can be shown through a 'false Plateu' such as in jaws. We see shark fins that lead the audience to believe it is Jaws the killer, but then it is revealed that is only children with a fake shark.But then just after that, the real jaws appears, which doubles the suspense and also makes things tense within the scene.
