In the opening scene of Jaws, a group of teenagers are sitting around a fire, having a social gathering. Two characters are slightly out of the group, making them more vulnerable and lonesome. The suggests safety and warmth, drawing both characters away from that implies that they are going to experience something bad. The characters then isolate themselves further, by running away from the light, into the setting sun (which seems to resemble an ending- the ending of the girls life) then, into the darkness. When running towards the sea, they pass a fence resembling imprisonment- they are trapping the victim, as there is no escape from the situation.
When the two characters are moving away, the sounds of their friends quietens. So, the audience can sense the isolation within the characters. The digenesis sound tones down to only calm sounds of the sea, creating a composition to what is going to happen.
