Compare the famous shower scene from Psycho with the boat scene from Jaws. How do the directors build up tension here?

I have chosen the second question 'compare the famous shower scene from Psycho with the boat scene from Jaws. How do the directors build up tension here?' I am going to compare various things such as camera angles/shots, music, lightning, long and short edits, dramatic irony and sound.

Jaws is a film about 3 brave men set out to kill a man eating shark who seems to be unconquerable as it has killed a lot of people in the past, the attacks he has made look horrifying and the men set out to kill it look like they have very little chance. They use a small boat as they hunt for the shark, the boat is small and the shark knows what it's doing as it attempts to take the boat down, it succeeds, but as you think there is no chance for the men, one of them kill the shark unexpectedly.

Psycho is about a man called Norman Baits who has a split personality. He thinks he is his mother as well as him self. The mother is made out to be a murderer and doesn't seem to like visitors as Norman won't be spending much time with her as he has work to do, but she has a way to sort that out. Norman doesn't know that it is really him killing people. The mother is actually dead all along, Norman thinks he is her and keeps her body in the house.

The music in Jaws is strange but very clever for the type of film, you would expect it to be fast and a bit more suiting the film, but it is a relaxing type of music. A combination is used - the infamous Jaws music is quite threatening, but also there is jollier music is used to lighten the mood - to relax the audience. The technique the director has used seems to be a bit strange but then it gives Jaws a bit more effect of scariness. After a frightening scene it plays relaxing music and now the audience are relaxed and therefore don't expect the next scene which is the boat scene to be frightening. But it is and the audience will be scared as the shark attacks. The music that gives you a clue that the shark is coming can be very nerve racking as you don't know when it is going to attack the boat, while the men are having fun.

Psycho music is very different; it is more expecting for the audience because the music is very high pitched. The director has used the obvious choice of music, but has picked very chilling music and makes the audience tense. During the shower scene the music is played and you feel it as the mother is killing the victim. It has the killing effect and after the music it stays in your head until the next scene as you don't want it to be played again.

The boat scene is very different to the shower scene, but they ...
