Subjective sounds are sounds that do not originate from the environment but can work well to strengthen pacing, story or mood. They can be sounds that the character cannot hear or interact with but instead affect the viewer. Subjective music could be used as a way to create contrast, for example, with typically happy music set against a sad scene.
In the movie “Jaws”, which is a 20th century film, the preying shark terrorizes the beaches of New England. After he is finally trapped, he is killed- but not in the same fashion as Grendel was. The shark was shot in the mouth and then blew up to do a CO2 tank he had swallowed. The way in which each antagonist was killed was in two very different ways: with and without weaponry, respectively.

Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) and his other film Jurassic Park (1993) both contain a major theme of what makes a successful hero in society. In Jaws, police chief Martin Brody must successfully eliminate the threat of a Great White Shark from attacking Amity Island. In Jurassic Park, billionaire John Hammond creates a theme park where cloned dinosaurs come alive, hoping that his ideal resort becomes a major success. Through the use of film style elements, such as editing and mise-en scene, Spielberg develops Brody’s character as a person who must learn from his past mistakes in order to become a successful hero while Spielberg creates Hammond’s character as a man who only sees himself as a hero of science and technology without realizing his attempted control over nature is what leads him to his ultimate failure.
Attention Gainer: For the attention gainer, I plan on showing the audience a two minute and thirty second video in order to display the tragic events that are happening around the world regarding shark killings.

Spielberg reveals the shark bit by bit making us imagine what it looks like. together like e.g. only revealing the dorsal fin and a bit of the torso in the Kinter boy attack. Brody reels in Marine Biologist Matt. Hooper (played by Dreyfuss) and the two men discover a Great. White has come to feed off their shores.
The camera angle is a big part of the film jaws. Here are some examples of how I think that the camera Angle is a big part about building suspense. One of my example’s from the movie Jaws is when the shark was attacking the boat it felt like you actually had apart with what was going on because the camera was going with the waves.

The third and final thing that I thought that brought suspense to the film Jaws is the camera showed a lot of first
And the genre of the film is horror or thriller and it is about a great white shark that hunts in the seas of Amity Island. The film is set around the 4th of July in New Jersey. It may be set 4th of July because is their independence day or their freedom from Great Britain. It may be set on the 4th of July because this day is very important or significant for the whole of America. It is celebrated around the whole of America in various ways to celebrate the American tradition. This also creates tension because if people get killed on this day or maybe Christmas it has a greater effect because often people are unaware or not expecting something like this to happen on a day like that.
The 1975 film Jaws is remembered as one of the best examples of suspense and horror in cinema.
