I watched the film 'The Others' starring Nicole Kidman. The film was about a woman, who believed her house was haunted; only to find that it was in fact her, her family and her servants who were the real ghosts that were haunting the house.
Throughout the film suspense is created by losts of dramatic music. There are eery renditions of classic paino peices, along with sudden blasts of high sounds. This heightens the nervousness felt by the audience, as they feel worried about what is coming.
Another way suspense is created is the use of snappy and short shots. These make the film seem as though it is going at an increasing rate. As the films' speed becomes faster so does the fear factor within the audience.
Throughout the film Kidman's character has an obsession with locking doors within the house. This also adds suspense, as the viewer wants to know whats going on behind closed doors.
