Jaws- By Colette

Camera-

• The camera tracks through seaweed underwater. Point of view shot shows that there is something hiding in the weeds. Camera jerks and jolts a lot which suggests unpredictability
• Camera pans across people- sets the scene
• Worms Eye view shot underneath girl as she swims which could also be a point of view shot. This shows that there's something lurking in the water below waiting to attack. It builds the tension because we know that she's going to die
• Long shot of girl in the sea shows how far out and defenceless she is and how no one will be able to save her. Makes us fear for her
• The camera is slightly under water when she gets attacked which makes it feel like we're there with her watching it happen but we can do nothing to help her
• Long shot of the sea afterwards looking calm and a midshot of the man laying on the beach shows that no one else knows what just happened- we fear for the rest of the public who are oblivious to the danger

Sound-

• There is no sound when the girl runs into the water except for the bell. The bell signifies an alarm or a warning. It builds the tension as we know that something bad's about to happen
• The music at the very beginning is deep and fast. When we hear this music again, when the girl is swimming, we know that she is about to get attacked. The pace of the music builds and gets faster in time with the action
• As the girl first gets pulled under the water by the shark the music suddenly gets louder which helps to shock and thrill
• As soon as the girl disappears the music suddenly stops 

Mise en Scene-

• Seaweed and weeds underneath the water suggest that there's something hidden in the water
• Fire and cigarettes suggest that the people are laid back and relaxed- contrasts with the seaweed moments before
• Smiling facial expressions, we know that the people are good and not the antagonist in the film
• The sea is almost deserted which makes it feel desolate and deserted

Editing-

• Simple cuts have been used to put the shots together so that the action is not disrupted and so that the audience focus on the film and 'don't see' the cuts
• The 180 degree rule hasn't been broken as the aim is not to disorientate the audience
