Start- underwater, the camera is moving around the water as if its in the sharks perspective. this creates effect and tension because you want too know what the shark is going to do.
Underwater looks very dark and eery. Lonely, secluded. Not very much is going on.
On land- A group of teenages, drinking, smoking, around the fire. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. Contrast with the shark. Gives the audience the idea that something bads going to happen.
Calming atmosphere contrasts with the chaos underwater. Characters are oblivious to events.
Character
the female character that is the first victim is first seen around the camp fire. The rest of the characters are all in a circle wheras she is sat alone. This symbolises lonleyness and that she is being picked at from the crowd. It also draws attention too this character and you also get the feeling something will happen to her.
In contrast with this, she seems to be the stronger character, when the female is running along the beach, she is controlling him and telling him what to do. She seems like the stronger character.
Music
At the beginning of the film when its underwater, you can hear the signature Jaws theme song, this gradually gets louder and more fast paced as the shark moves faster.
There is then a sudden change in music type, it becomes a lot more peaceful.
When the girl is getting attacked you can hear screams, and cries of the girl shouting for help as the shark attacks her. once the girl has been dragged under the water, it goes deadly silent. this is really effective because it symbolises death, the end of something.
