What I like in this scene is how they use the sound to represent the shark. As soon as you hear the beat, it signifies either the shark is near by or about to attack. They then use the sound to create tension and suspense.
Alfred Hitchcock explains the meanings of these two concepts. He mentions that Suspense is an emotional process experienced by the audiences and Tension is when you have audiences hooked by the information you have given them.
Spielberg creates this within the scene by giving us various information for example, the girl that screams as if she's being attacked but actually she's not, the boy who's separated from the rest of the flock and the young lad looking for his dog. All these elements hook the audience building up tension as we see the POV of the shark and then experiencing the shock at the end.
