Analyzing the first attack

Description		Analysis
Title Music
Music begins very quiet and slow.		Non-diegetic sound. Audience feel submerged underwater. Starting point for tension
The camera shows the point of view of the shark moving through the weeds.		To make the audience feel scared.  It’s a POV shot from the shark because the director wants his audience to see what the shark is seeing and he wants the audience to feel curious and anxious. Foreshadowing due to music
The music builds up and gets louder and faster.		To make the audience feel scared and to make them think that they are going to see scary. Tension builds further which is a signs of Danger! Audience’s heart beat raises. Their waiting for something bad to happened but ….. cuts off to party on the beach (Change of mood)
Opening Scene
There is the sound of a mouth organ being played at the beach party.		The atmosphere change into happy and warm feeling. The people are having a good time at the beach. The bond fire is keeping them warm from the cold sea water.  Diegetic sound
There is a large bonfire on the beach. The sea dominates the background		Diegetic sound High angle shot and a long shot
The camera pulls back to show a wide shot of the sea. We can hear the noise of the sea in the background.		To make the audience have their guard down by showing them how peaceful it is. Diegetic sound
Whilst the girl is swimming there is no music.		This build tension as well as signs of danger is approaching. This made the audience feel curious, anxious and scared at the same time.
The camera shows the shark’s point of view and the music starts.		This shows the shark’s point of view which he saw his first victim swimming out to sea. The music was quite and calm at first but we could feel that something bad is going to happen.
The camera switches between the top and bottom of the water.		To show the relationship between the top and bottom. The top is all peace and quiet and we know that the shark is under the sea.
There is a shot of her legs kicking and the camera slowly zooms in.		The heart beats faster as the shark  gets closer to it first victim. The music gets intense then suddenly stop to make audience feel scared. Suddenly, the shark pulls the girl by her leg and pushed her around trying to push her in the water.
There are pauses in the attack, and the camera shows the boy slumped on the beach.		This shows that no one was there to witness the accident or hear what has happened.  Diegetic sound
The camera is in a fixed position, the warning buoy always in the background.		The buoy is used to warm people about not to swim across the buoy line. This shows that the shark swam across the buoy and closer to the beach. This means that not even crossing the buoy can be dangerous.  Middle shot
At the end of the scene all we can hear is the sound of the sea.		The girl was gone. Obsessively she was eaten by the shark. After that there was no sign of the shark. Everything was quiet and the music stopped. It’s like nothing ever happened and the danger is gone for the meant time.

Types of sound ;)

Hey reader, there are many types of different sounds that has been used in movies but for today I will be showing a few types of sound that are used in films. I hope you like it 🙂

• Diegetic sound – Sounds that can be found from the background and you can see where the sound it coming from. For example like in a beautiful spring morning you hear birds creeping from the trees.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
• Non-diegetic sound –  A sound that cant see where it’s coming from but just added into the movie. Example like make a slide show without music but you added it in it to make it more attracting and nice.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
• Parallel sound –  Sounds that compliments what we see on screen. Example like it’s a ghost movie where the ghost is going to show it face, they will be a terrifying sound.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                                               (Personally I like this video because I think it’s very cute the way that the bird tries his best to help the cloud.)

• Contrapuntal sound – This sound is an unexpected sound. For Example like it’s a serious part of the movie like someone’s dying but then someone at the back is laughing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Types of shots and angles from Jaws

There are a lot of camera shots and angles used in movies. It is used to show what is happening in the movie.

• Extreme close up shot
• Close up shot
• Long shot
• Point of view
• High angel shot
• Low angel shot
• Medium shot
• Panoramic shot
• Track
• Zoom

1. Extreme Close Shot – Focuses on a part of the face mostly the eyes and mouth. It’s to show the audience the emotion of the character. As you can see from the picture above it is an extreme close up because you can see the sharks’s eye and it’s mouth.                                                                                                                                                                                                     
2. Close Up Shot – It usually takes the head and the shoulders of the character. It can show how important the character or an object is. Here you can see the chief from jaws reading a book about sharks.                                                                                                          
3. Long Shot – The full body of the character is shown. Long shot is used to show the location or the relationship of the character. In this picture there is a party with a big bond fire with a bit of the sea.                                                                                                        
4. Point Of View – Point of view is when the camera becomes the character and shows us exactly what the character is seeing.  As you can see it’s from the shark’s point of view. The shark is looking at it’s first victim.                                                                                                                      
5. High Angle Shot – The camera is placed above the character or place. This shows that something bad is going to happen and makes the character looks weak and vulnerable.                                                                                                                                                                 
6. Low Angle Shot – The camera is placed below the character or place. This shows that the character is powerful or important. In here you can see Hagrid from Harry Potter talking about something important, you can see the camera made Hagrid look big and powerful.                                                                                                                                                                                      
7. Medium Shot – A shot that shows the character’s body from the waist up. It shows the background and the body language. It shows the audience what the character is doing and what they are feeling.                                                                                             
8. Zoom – It’s when the camera zoom to focus on the character or an object. This is where the camera is zooming into the shark’s teeth and focusing on the boat.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
9. Pan – Pan is short for Panoramic. The camera moves in an arc from a fixed point. This is when the camera man wants to show the audience everything from the location of the movie.                                                                                                                                 
10. Track – The camera moves as if it’s on a track following a person or an object. In this picture, you can see the camera crew on the track while filming for a movie.
