OPENING!
one of the things Spielberg does incredibly well in this movie, but especially during the opening credits is the use of SILENCE.
silence is integral to the sound effects in this movie. it’s what builds not just tension but horror.
but what am noticing with this opening is how JOHN WILLIAMS’ score makes him part of the sound effects team.
this opening is absolutely a spin on the opening of STAR WARS which was released 5 months prior.
