Mise-en-Scène

Mise-en-Scène is everything in a frame of a film/TV series etc. E.g. Lighting, costume, colour, facial expression and composition. 

In the Jaws opening scene all of this is there it can suggest things such as being in fire
(for lighting) suggests a haven so if you leave the fire you are isolated from the area which makes it seem like something is going to happen. such as the couple in the first scene they are away from the fire and then start to go to the sea to swim which isolates them even more. There is a broken fence that they run by and the bars of the fence suggests cage, which means trapped. Sound is used for the music, conversations, running and the waves but when that is all left behind it will make the audience think something's going to happen.
