Review Steven Spielbergs' Jaws.

also suspense in the scene where the girl drowns because of the silence which indicates there is going to be an attack, which makes the audience anticipate the attack. Furthermore, when the girl is swimming, there is no music which adds tension and the camera shows the girls feet kicking under water then the tense music gradually build up and the audience can tell that the shark is swimming towards her.The music is used to show dangerous. It’s also to create tension, when the tempo of the music gets louder and faster, its shows the danger is getting closer.The second attack happened in the middle of the day, there were a lot of camera angles showing the people on Amity Beach. There was a sign of danger and this sign was the mother’s hat was yellow and the boy’s lilo was also yellow, yellow is often recognized as a warning danger sign any animal that has yellow is often seen as hazardous and dangerous, this was done to link the people who are attacked and the dog owner too had a yellow shirt. This scene also uses imagination where the owner of the dog throws the stick onto the sea and the dog follows it, this is where we lastly see the dog and audience use their imagination of what happened to the dog, a close up camera angle was used to capture the stick the dog was playing with which suggest the shark has eaten him. Another technique that Spielberg used to scare the audience was his flicking back and forth of the camera on Chief Brody’s anxious face who is not satisfied about the safety of people which people refers to as a reaction shot. After a while the camera moves undersea the audience know that this angle is from the shark’s eye relating to the first attack, the angle is called first person angle the camera show the boy on the lilo moving his feet music slowly builds tension and at that moment music gets louder, and we hear screaming which is viewed in a long shot than the music stops. Now viewers know the boy has died because the audience knows that when the music stops so does the attack.The first two attacks were close together to build more tension. It’s also to make audiences concentrate and patiently wait for the next attack to happen, however viewers at the time feel nervous knowing an attack can take to place any minute.The attack on Brody’s son was a short attack; this attack was used to reflect on Brody, to make viewers sympathies with his family. After the attack finished Brody’s son is dragged out of the water and rushed to the hospital and treated for shock. Here audience feel scared and this scene gave them a reason not to go in water.When Hooper goes down in the cage the director makes the audience use their imagination to predict what’s going to happen next. When they put the air tank inside the shark mouth that impact shows that something victorious would happen, and they might become successful in their mission to take down the shark. The film built more anxiety so viewer are anxious to imagine what will happen to the main characters at the end of the film and the director uses that to keep the viewers more eager.The shark in the movie is presented as being clever; he hides in the water and drags the boat down. When the engine of the boat breaks down, the viewer here think that Brody is going to get eaten by the shark, so the viewer becomes more eager for the scene of Brody getting killed, Spielberg uses this to make the viewer have a horrible feeling of worry because Brody is the main character. Spielberg made sure whatever the audience think is going to happen the opposite will happen in the movie to build anticipation.Quint’s death scene used a lot of camera angles from an extreme close up to a long shot. They were used when the ship was tilted and Quint slips into the shark’s mouth the camera shot was a close up to show how the great white shark is more powerful than a man is and the to show the pain Quint is in, after the shark swallowed Quint there was a long shot to show that Quint is no more alive to show the audience how the shark can easily kill. These angle shots were used to have an impact of scary moment on the viewer to show that the ending can be horrible and disastrous.Spielberg uses four main techniques to create tension and suspense within the film. These four techniques are music, camera angles, facial expression, and also structure. I think that Spielberg was successful using his techniques to get the viewer caught up in this movie. The scariest part of the film is in the beginning when the girl was eaten by the shark in the sea. The way Spielberg used the music and the camera angles were fantastic, the scene was very quiet and in a split second she gets attacked by the audience do not know by what or who.
