After the alien in-pregnated Kane, it then forced itself out of Kane killing him; starting the horror and suspense of the film.
Alien being produced in 1979 was using the newest of special effects, one of the special effects being pictured above. However it wasn't just the special effects that made Alien one of the best movies of its time it was also the framing and score. The picture above shows how the frame used a focused image on things like the alien above or when the camera was focusing on the egg. The framing was also used when the camera zoomed out and showed the massive ship or the long dark hallways. The camera also used different angles to make the movie so great the angle looking down on the alien forcing itself on Kane adds an entire new effect.
This is a picture of the scene after the shipped landed and part of the crew left theship to check out the "distress" call that actually ended up being a warning call.
The score during the scene above was also very important. The music reminded of the music in Jaws. Also in this movie moments of silence were very important. Right before the hand grabbed Kane there was complete silence. The music was also very curious, it would get louder and then silent in times of danger. As the ship was landing there was a loud curious music playing, and once the ship was landed there was complete silence.
Alien was the true beginning to horror films. The special effects really started knew ways of filming movies, and knew ideas for the effects of movies. The costume for Alien also made the movie very good because the costume was so realistic looking. The score, framing, and special effects made the movie one of the best of its time.
