Unfortunately when the shark does bite on the roast it yanks it so hard that half of the jetty comes
off taking one if the men with it. Then there is a slight gap, until the third attack. Jaws is very
sneaky and has sly ways about him therefore he is very hard to catch. There were a lot of people on
the beach and it was the peak holiday season. When the shark is attacking the viewer sees a sudden
close-up of Brody so that the viewer can feel how he feels. After this it cuts to a long pan shot of
Chrissy and this boy chasing her along the sea front. This shot is good as it also shows the group's
isolation. Alex’s isolation frightens the audience because they anticipate something bad is destined to
happen to him. Then quickly the shot changes back to the shark view. In the opening scene when the
shark arrives the music starts. They hook one end of the chain to the meat and the other end is tied to
the jetty. The camera then closes up on Brodie’s side profile and we can see him surveying the sea
with a worried and apprehensive look on his face. Diegetic sound helps, as it makes the film sound
more realistic and it creates a less obvious tension. The setting is very sunny and cheerful with the
hustle and bustle of the people on the beach. Analyse the ways that the director builds suspense and
scares the audience. Therefore, the audience relates to his character and does not want anything to
happen to anyone relating to him. The viewer suspects it is real but to prove the viewer wrong there
is no music. Spielberg does this so that the viewer can feel the fear and tension created by the
characters emotions and expressions. This leaves the girl all on her own as she swims towards the
deep end of the water. By carrying out this shot, it presents an impression that he is far out at sea and
further away than anyone else. Even the Mayor notices this; as he approaches an elderly couple that
he appears to know well, he pleads them to go into the sea, more of a demand infact. Brody is the
only person that knows what is going on and now he is distracted and cant see the water. As well as
this, the title shows the genre of the film is horror. How successful is Spielberg in creating tension
and suspense in the film Ja. Exploring the Shark-Diving Experience John Dobson Shark-based
tourism is a rapidly growing aspect of the marine-wildlife-tourism sector, but has yet to be subject to
intense academic scrutiny. Spielberg purposely makes it look this way to lull the audience into a false
sense of safety so they would not expect a shark attack at any moment. Reviews Select overall

A close up shot of his face reveals just how much he is agitated with his eyes firmly fixed on the sea.
Fear of the shark was build through the character's individual reaction by showing their fear. The
scene opens on a lot of young people around a bonfirewho are engaging. This paper adopts an
interpretivist approach in analysing eight participants' experiences of encountering sharks in the wild.
Jaws may well have been awarded a higher age certificate in 1975, than what it is at present, as the
encounters the victims in the film experienced in the company of the shark would have a repulsive
spectacle for the viewers. Alex’s isolation frightens the audience because they anticipate something

than what it is at present, as the encounters the victims in the film experienced in the company of the

attacks had very little personal involvement with the main characters, they were used to scare the
audience and build up tension. The shark misses him and goes back out to sea; the purpose of the
attack was to make the attack more personal and closer to the main character and for the audience to
feel sad for Brody. The camera then cuts to the boy who we have already seen starts to look around,
shouting for his dog that again we have seen the boy with. This sound is non- digetic, as it is not
involved with the movement of people in the scene. This shows that he is not interested in the
conversation, but is only interested in the sea, which shows how significant his paranoia is. The
second example that was used to build up fear and show how much damage was caused by the shark
is the first victim autopsy that showed what damage it can do to humans. Also, when a girl starts
screaming and the audience thinks she is being attacked. This makes the audience feel apprehensive
and tension starts to build up. Reviews Select overall rating (no rating) Your rating is required to

makes the journey all the more redoubtable is the fact that we cannot actually see the shark; this
creates even more threat towards the audience as it is an unseen danger. It is hear that we realise that
the shark is attacking. After the long pan shot the scene does a 'straight cut' to Chrissy on her own.

tension in the film jaws. Because it only shows us the sharks p.o.v it has simple music to build up
suspense and tension towards the audience. The audience think there Is going to be another attack,
but the suspense is built up then let down again. It's a fantastic way to teach HOW to answer the
question. As the scene goes on people walk in front of Broady and each time it zooms closer to him,
then it cuts to looking out to sea (point of view shot). The audience notice the use of colour that
Steven Spielberg uses. The last section of the film was out at sea on the small boat. After the attack, a
calm atmosphere is restored with dawn approaching, along with just the sound of the sea and the
tide-bell slowly ringing, promoting the calm feeling of the sea. Hide replies Empty reply does not

resource. The movie does not get truly terrifying until the three main characters go out onto the
ocean to kill the monster shark. This is a mysterious, unfamiliar territory to the audience. Alex
approaches his mother from the sea to ask permission for a little more time in the sea. The POV shot
ends and a normal shot is used to show the surface of the water and all the audience see is the girls
head bobbing up and down in the water. Spielberg does not use music to signal the audience so they
will always be uncertain of when JAWS will attack, keeping them on the edge of their seats. Why I
love the opening sequence of Steven Spielbergs Jaws! Poor grammatical construction is in evidence
and there is frequent unnecessary repetition. Alex approaches his mother from the sea to ask
permission for a little more time in the sea. Again, Spielberg wants his audience to feel comfortable.
He also wants the audience still to be aware of the shark. Examples of these would be uncertainty
(in)tolerance, masculine versus feminine cultures, dominant versus harmonizing (outer-directed)
attitudes towards the environment. These words strike the viewer with horror as they are describing
the monster shark and the comments give the sense that there is no hope if the shark doesn’t go away.
Therefore the blood and gore has the biggest effect when creating terror. Sometimes the director uses
it as a false alarm to manipulate the audience. The camera returns to Brody’s face, which is still
looking stressed, gazing in the region of the sea. One of the aims is to raise awareness in what
regards the specificity of such beach areas, in terms of not only opportunities, but also threats to sea
ecosystems posed by excessive modernization driven by economic interests. Behind her we can see
what seems to be a shark fin coming towards her. It shows the man looking at the girl, with their eyes
meeting. The music also plays a prolonged, very high-pitched note, which automatically causes you
to hold your breath during the attack with fear. We also don’t see the shark until half way through
the film which makes the audience interested because they haven’t seen the shark yet. Results show
that tourists on whale and dolphin tours in New Zealand display high satisfaction rates, but also
would like to learn more about wildlife and the sea in general. Tension is built when underwater
oblique shots are used again, which the audience now recognise as a sign of danger from previous
attacks. When Spielberg shows the damage the shark can do to things and people are traumatised. As
the second attack scene commences, the director exploits a tracking shot of the young boy, Alex. It
was something new and exiting in the world of cinematography. But yellow is still a big factor and is
used when a shark attack is going to happen. Those were probably the first signal words given by
Steven Spielberg as he directed the film JAWS. The camera concentrated on Brody's nervous face by
using close-up shot's of his face as well as using mid angle shot to. This shows that he is not
interested in the conversation, but is only interested in the sea, which shows how significant his
paranoia is.
This is very eerie as it indicates the end of the attack, and the mysterious aquamarine ocean is once
again placid and at ease after the untamed and savage attack by a shark. What makes the journey all
the more redoubtable is the fact that we cannot actually see the shark; this creates even more threat
towards the audience as it is an unseen danger. When Alex re-emerges in the background he has a
yellow lilo in his hands; the camera shot immediately focuses on the yellow lilo and Alex. Brody
feels responsible for the death of the boy because he knew the shark was out there somewhere. The
camera concentrated on Brody's nervous face by using close-up shot's of his face as well as using
mid angle shot to. The pace of editing also speeds up in the third scene. Jaws. During the attacks

want to say anything incase he has got the complete wrong idea. The first attack was against a
teenager girl who was on the beach having a party and decided to go in for a swim, she was then
attacked by the shark and her body was found washed out on the beach where she was found and
her body torn to pieces. The music is played to signify that the shark is near by and an attack is
inevitable. The main protagonist struggles to undertake the task of ending the torment of a Great
White Shark feeding on the locals. “Jaws” was filmed in 1975 on the coast of the very elegant Amity
Island. During the forthcoming days, hundreds of innocent tourists will be visiting the beach, with a
vast percentage of them intruding the shark’s current territory at some time or another. It starts with
a very relaxed atmosphere of a large group of people chatting and sitting round a camp fire and we
can hear someone playing a harmonica in the background. This sudden contrast between the music
and silence is used by Spielberg to put the audience a t the edge of their seat. When the shark is
attacking the viewer sees a sudden close-up of Brody so that the viewer can feel how he feels. But
he is able to escape by hiding behind one of the corals. It was something new and exiting in the
world of cinematography. This happens when sunburnt man talks to brody blocking his view. At the
beginning a medium shot (MS) is used to show a robust woman walking into the sea from the beach.
A sunburnt man approaches Brody and begins talking to him blocking Brody’s view of the sea.
When Spielberg shows the damage the shark can do to things and people are traumatised. In my
opinion this was a bone-chilling and hair-raising film. Spielberg does not use music to signal the
audience so they will always be uncertain of when JAWS will attack, keeping them on the edge of
their seats. This obviously shows that the shark is connected to the music. Yellow is important as in
nature yellow is very hazardous, and any animal displaying yellow is often seen as dangerous. By
now the audience knows that she has been eaten by the shark. In the end one of the men is killed by
being eaten alive by the shark. This also enforces how she is isolated from the group. The plot is
bloodcurdling because it gets really terrifying when the three main characters go out in a little boat to
catch a gigantic great white monster shark.
After the long pan shot the scene does a 'straight cut' to Chrissy on her own. An over the shoulder
shot is then used to show a teenager looking for his dog out on the water. This then changes the
mood of the audience and makes them suddenly frightened instead. Our customer service team will

sly ways about him therefore he is very hard to catch. For example, there is Alex’s mother who is
wearing a yellow hat, the man with the dog is wearing a yellow T-shirt, Alex floats on a yellow li-lo
and finally, the old man wipes his face, with a yellow towel, when he’s talking to Brody. He also
revealed the size of the shark through its bite mark. Empty reply does not make any sense for the end

Brody feels responsible because he should have forced the mayor to close the beaches. It is important
that the shot changes more rapidly because it helps to build up tension and pace in the scene. This
shows that he is not interested in the conversation, but is only interested in the sea, which shows
how significant his paranoia is. This paper adopts an interpretivist approach in analysing eight
participants' experiences of encountering sharks in the wild. The scene starts with it being very slow
paced action with Quint talking about the Indianapolis sinking. Another technique that builds up
suspense is the involvement of characters. This is effective because it makes the audience feel
anxious, as they know Chrissie is dead and no one heard the attack. The scene then finishes with
Chrissy being pulled under the water, leaving a mess behind. Although the audience know that a
shark attack has taken place, most people do not realise what is happening on the beach; they all just
run out because everyone else is. Therefore the blood and gore has the biggest effect when creating
terror. Although, she actually just lost her balance, whilst on the boy’s shoulders. This also creates an
impression that she is very isolated because she is unaccompanied far out in the sea, and the stoned
boy she was with, is laying half dead on the sand. Therefore trying to read from his eyes what has
happened to the boy. The shot portrays the vision of the shark under water as it swims around
looking for his next victim as the music relating to it starts to build up. It gives a close up of him
keeping a close eye on the sea for anything irregular, which informs the audience he’s apprehensive
about the current situation. An alternative instance of Spielberg's use of empathy is when Hooper
was being attacked in the iron cage. Sometimes the director uses it as a false alarm to manipulate the
audience. Alex approaches his mother wearing red swimming shorts, while his mother is wearing a
yellow Mexican styled hat. A vast amount of suspense is created as we are guided slowly but steadily
through the water, wondering what the shark is about to do next. Therefore, the audience relates to
his character and does not want anything to happen to anyone relating to him. Just as we snuggle up
in our seats, the tension strings tighten again and before you know the. Catching the wrong shark and
finding the fisherman's head also added tension and fear from the shark.
Am telling you man this writer is absolutely the best. ”. After the long pan shot the scene does a
'straight cut' to Chrissy on her own. As a result the viewer can emphasise with the character. The
music is played to signify that the shark is near by and an attack is inevitable. The feeling of isolation
is present in the second scene, but it is more aimed towards developing Broady's paranoia. Based on
the first chapter of the novel JAWS by Peter Benchley. This demonstrates that he is isolated from the
other two, which is important because we know that the shark only attacks people who are isolated.
He also wants the audience still to be aware of the shark. The shot then cuts to Chrissy swimming in
the water. Our customer service team will review your report and will be in touch. ?3.05 (no rating) 0

Not the right resource. The opening titles begin with a waterproof camera lurking underneath the.
When the audience see the affection and warmth the mother gives to Alex, they feel sympathy for
the mother at the end when Alex is killed because the audience knew how much the mother loved
him. This is effective because it makes the audience feel anxious, as they know Chrissie is dead and
no one heard the attack. Hooper goes under the water to kill it but the shark destroys the anti-shark
cage. The film is set on the 4th of July because that is Independence Day in America and that's when
families go out to the beach and have some fun. The shark, a dead man, Brody’s son in shock, the
blood, they all have an effect on the viewer. The viewer gets to see the man’s disembodied leg and
how it falls to the ocean floor. Several individuals may have even attained a phobia for swimming in
the sea, since no shark film had ever been screened, which came to Jaws in terms of reality. Right at
the end of the scene, his mother is shouting out his name and there is a close up of the ripped
inflatable li-lo. Distributed questionnaires at two locations in New Zealand included closed-ended

got back I breathed a sigh of relief. This made the audience feel nauseous and disgusted. The
characters reactions in the film jaws confuse the audience.
