Movie Analysis of "Jaws".

Sharkwater (2006) is a documentary that was filmed by Robert Stewart, a man who spent his whole life in the ocean fascinated by sharks. Stewart's passion for sharks lead him to eventually become a marine biologist so he could spend his days scuba diving out in the ocean. His main goal shooting this movie is to inform viewers about how sharks are being killed so brutally and to persuade watchers to help do something to keep the shark population in tact. Stewart and his anti poaching crew try to evacuate the illegal fishermen out of the waters, help save the sharks, and raise awareness about the mass killings of the sharks and their rapid declining population. People in the countries that he traveled to then rallied together to protest, urging the government to create stricter laws. Stewarts’ message has impacted the countries he's visited; with his excellent use of logos, pathos, and mainly ethos he is able to impact even more people around the world.

Almost every Hollywood movie follows a set tradition. The Hollywood movies have recurring elements in almost everyone. Each Hollywood movie has the same format and setup, but this does not make it a classical movie like the Wizard of Oz. It is no walk in the park creating a Classical movie. Jaws is the quintessence of Classical Hollywood Cinema. It is a great suspenseful classical movie that will beat out the test of time. Two main element in narrative Hollywood cinema are focusing on main character, and that main character solving a goal. The movie, Jaws, revolves around Sherriff Brody, and his struggle to protect the beaches from a shark. Once there is a goal defined, there is opposition. The opposition keeps the protagonist from meeting

Does any of you in the class know the themed music for jaws? of course you do, we all do. Because sharks are really scary arn't they? Sadly Films such as this as well as the media have built up this huge reputation of sharks being threatening, alarming & Dangerous monsters of the sea. It's a tragedy! Today I will be arguing for the rights of these misrepresented sharks and how this new "catch and kill policy" is completely wrong.

does not know when. When the music comes to a climax a horn joins in

The second victim of the shark is a young boy named Alex, this time the scene is set in along the beach, crowded with people enjoying the long Independence Day holiday. Also on the beach is police chief Brody with his own family. Sunbathers lie on the packed beach. This is a very unlikely place and time for an eventful scene. Again the

Over the past few weeks we have watched a few horror movies “Jaws, “The Others”, “Signs” and “Frankenstein” but today we are just focusing on these three movies: “Jaws”, “The Others” and “Signs”. “Frankenstein” was just a flat out boring movie because it was a movie that was black and white and it showed portrayed nothing about how it made the movie suspenseful and scary. “Jaws” was a movie that was made in 1975 which had nothing to scare people of this generation but at least they used appropriate techniques to make the movie suspenseful. “The Others was a movie that was made in 2001 and they did a excellent job of foreshadowing by stating the obvious at the beginning of the movie but the weird part was nobody got what they meant but with this said I don’t think that the movie had used better techniques than “Signs”, in “Signs” I think their techniques standed out the most primarily because of the special effects they used to make the movie jaw-dropping, blood curdling and eye-catching with this said I think the movie “Signs” did the best job in using the proper techniques to create suspense and fear in addition the director of the movie “Signs”, M. Night, Shyamalan, has been nominated for 2 Best Screenplay awards and 1 Best Director award for the movie “Signs” alone.

Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) and his other film Jurassic Park (1993) both contain a major theme of what makes a successful hero in society. In Jaws, police chief Martin Brody must successfully eliminate the threat of a Great White Shark from attacking Amity Island. In Jurassic Park, billionaire John Hammond creates a theme park where cloned dinosaurs come alive, hoping that his ideal resort becomes a major success. Through the use of film style elements, such as editing and mise-en scene, Spielberg develops Brody’s character as a person who must learn from his past mistakes in order to become a successful hero while Spielberg creates Hammond’s character as a man who only sees himself as a hero of science and technology without realizing

Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg when Jaws was first released it was received by the critics as the film to watch at the time because it did such a profound job at putting fear in audiences around the world and today is considered one of the greatest films ever made. The film jaws does a great job at appealing to the psychological needs of it's viewer because its ability to build suspense in the film because the shark is never really shown till near the end of the film which creates a question of how it looks, and how big and dangerous it is and keeps the viewers thinking throughout the whole movie installing a psychological effect because you never really know the severity of the situation

Director, screenwriter, and producer, Stephen Spielberg, has been often described by critics as being one of the trailblazers who paved the way for the new Hollywood era. In fact, one of Spielberg’s earliest films, JAWS, captured the audience’s attentions so vividly that the movie remains to be a cult classic even decades later. The audience sunk its teeth deep into the enticing combination of drama, thrill, science-fiction, and adventure the film obtained. At face value, JAWS appears to be focused on a giant monstrous fish, but with further analyzation of the plot structure, narration, and original music demonstrates the brilliance and complexity of why JAWS is a well deserving Oscar-winning movie.

During the film Steve Spielberg uses music, a mysterious shark and camera techniques such as simultaneous track and zoom, long shot, close up shots and medium shots to build suspense, tension and scare the audience.

He’s had to go through extremely stressful scenarios to become the phenomenal director he is today. In my opinion, the most important moment in his movie making carrier was directing Jaws. That was the movie that started it all for Spielberg. When he was assigned the job of directing the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley, Steven’s career was now recognized by big Hollywood studios. Very soon production nightmares happened on the set of Jaws. Spielberg realized a very big problem, “We started the film without a script, without a cast and without a shark” (Richard Dreyfus). Spielberg was over budget, over schedule, and overwhelmed. The mechanical shark used in the film would break due to the salt water so Spielberg had to come up with interesting ways to not show it. That is why the movie rarely shows the shark. “The young director woke up every day fearing he

In this film, there is both camera movement used and even fixed, immobile shots that lasted a whole film reel like the one in the kitchen which was between George and Fanny, and Jack later on. For this fixed immobile movement, the slightest camera movement or even a close-up would have broken the focus the audience had on the intimate participation of the two characters in action. For the director, Orson Welles, the vividness of the scene in depth was not sufficient for his theatrical approach. He needed what is called a “lateral” depth of focus. In this film, the use of the stretching of the image in depth along with the constant use of low angles gives the audience a sense of conflict and tension happening in the story, solidifying the fact

One of the ways that Spielberg conveys a sense of suspense in Jaws is by not showing the shark. He gives us man glimpses of it, such as the fin, and shadows accompanied by blood, but never the full until late in the film. I think this really helps us as the audience fear the shark more, as our imagination is forced to fill in the blanks, which sometimes creates something far worse than the actual thing.

     The camera then starts to switch from the girls point of view, to the sharks point of view. The girl is totally defenceless to the shark’s capabilities, but using this effect allows you to relate to both characters.

The second attack is on a small boy in the sea at a crowded beach on
