Comparing Film Trailers
Film trailers are made to advertise films to an audience in a cinema,
an audience watching television programmes, videos and DVD's. Their
purpose is to interest the viewers in seeing the film by showing
enticing clips from the film in a very clever technique so that the
whole story line is not given away. The two trailers that I am
discussing are Jaws and Gladiator.
Jaws is a 70's horror film which is base on a shark attack in a happy
tranquil setting in America where raw physical violence is the last
thing on ones mind. At first the little town of peacefulness is all
well until there are several cases of shark attacks discovered on the
beach so the local detective and an expert fisherman go out to sea to
try and capture the "eating machine". Stephen Spielberg directs this
thrilling film.
The tension in the trailer of jaws is almost immense as it is created
by Horror orchestra music, which gradually gets louder and faster as
something bed is about to happen, this is done to create more
suspense. The tension also increases, as the camera is underwater
looking up at the teenage girl swimming to make the audience think
that they are seeing everything from the shark's eyes. Slowly, as the
piercing music is played, the camera zooms up and swims towards the
girl to make it look like a shark attack is about to happen. This
shows the audience a wide range of different camera shot techniques.
I think this is done in such a professional way to keep the audience
on the edge of their seats. The editing of Jaws is done in a very
unique because at the beginning there is only two fairly short shots
underwater, then as it gets towards the middle of the trailer, the
shots become longer so the audience can get a better idea of what the
film is about without having given the whole plot away. The editing is
not at the same pace at all, it is all varied to the flow of different
Analysis of the Ways the Director Builds Suspense in the Opening to the Film Jaws
A salvage diver of the S.S. Salvage vessel is working a wreck for treasure when he finds an ancient knife and brings down another diver.
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.

Jaws was a mammoth success as a movie, but before it was a movie, it was a very successful novel that was on the best sellers list for 44 weeks. Jaws was written in 1974 by Peter Benchley. It is a story of a great white shark that preys upon a small resort community and the efforts of three men trying to kill it and stop its destructive attacks. After he learned about the exploits of shark fisherman Frank Mundus in 1964, Benchley's interest in shark attacks manifested into this novel. Doubleday publishing had commissioned Benchley to write the novel in 1971. Little did Benchley know that, as a struggling freelance writer, his novel, Jaws, would become one of the greatest movies of all time, as cited by film critics and industry professionals.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, Jaws (Spielberg, 1975) figures into one of the most iconic films in the history of Hollywood filmmaking most notably for the visual experience that is created with the creative use of various tools of filmmaking that allow its impact to be felt even now. The classic Amity Island beach scene shown in the clip artfully uses editing techniques like long takes, wipes, split diopter, point of view shots, the zolly, and background score to intensify the suspense ridden impending shark attack without actually showing the shark.
A Comparison of Two Advertisements Introduction Advertising and media are part of everybody’s everyday life, with or without them realizing. Each day we see adverts on the television showing us new lifestyles that look glamorous, we hear adverts on the radio, we see slogans emblazoned on people’s clothes, on the side of buses, on billboards, everywhere!! Big companies know that they need to make their product appeal to as many ‘niche markets’ as possible and they do this by ‘audience segmentation’. This is when companies make an advert so that it would appeal to one type of person, and then another advert for the same product but for a different type of person. Although it is hard to know exactly when there target audience will be watching, companies will spend lots of money researching.
In the film Jaws produced by directed Steven Spielberg the fear of the unknown is a prominent occurrence.
