Even though this movie is pretty old (1975) , I still think the basic idea of opening the movie from the killers prospective is so effective. The fact that its being shot underwater from the vision of the shark adds to the predatory feeling surrounding this scene.It then cuts to the young girls and boys sitting on the beach 'unaware' of what is beneath the surf.
This adds to the drama , because we as the audience can already sense what might happen , but are compelled to see how it plays out.
Personally I think we should aim at trying to incorporate this technique into our opening scene , or give a POV shot of the killer at some point in our clip.
It helps to emerge the audience in the situation and they feel engaged in both angles of the narrative.
