Suspense-
Suspense is when a scene drags out and builds up tension for the viewer that will eventually lead into something large happening, such as a killing or kidnapping, which then can lead into suspense as you wait for the climax of when the hero saves the day, or so you suspect at least. The film "North By Northwest" is a good demonstration of suspense as you follow the unknowing hero as he tries to survive, ultimately building up suspense until the final scene when you find out what will happen to him.
Shock-
Shock is quite the opposite, shock is very dramatic and very fast, without any hint of the audience knowing, for example a great scene in "North By Northwest" is when Roger Thornhill is having a very hot argument with Eve Kendall and she suddenly pulls a gun out and shoots him. Without us having any indication that this is her idea, it creates a huge shock for the audience.
