3. The film JAWS follows a new police chief who takes over in Amity. Amity, a beach town is full of fun, swimming, and tourism all summer. One night, a teen strays away from a party for a night swim and is brutally attacked by a shark. A series of attacks follow from one, dangerous Great White creating panic. The story follows the police chief's fight to save the town's reputation, battle against politics, and take down this mean shark. I think a big scene in the film is the Quint USS Indianapolis speech, where he goes on about their ship being capsized and explains why he wants to hunt sharks. It also builds suspense, as they are all out in the middle of the ocean. My favorite part of the scene has a lot to do with the camera work.
4. There are many innovative camera strategies at play in this blockbuster film. One often used strategy is a camera in the water showing what the shark would see. It creates suspense by letting the audience know that the shark is eyeing its prey.
5. A blockbuster is a movie of extremely large size or influence, and that is exactly what JAWS is. JAWS changed the world of cinema, and brought in record breaking box office numbers. It was a cultural sensation.
