What does a writer/film maker do to create tension?
A writer created tension with pauses and language, however a film maker can create tension with more visual or audio influences. In the crucible, Arthur Miller creates tension by having short and monosyllabic conversations between characters so that there is more to read into between the lines. This invisible tension, such as between Elizabeth and John Proctor, emulates a silent issue that the reader can pick up on. As these conversations escalate, the reader can see the mood and tone unfold. Words and arguments are repeated in an increasingly more serious matter. Ina film adaptation, a film maker can use this escalation and use of pause to create tension, but also they may use use of light and music.
