One feature I think Steven Spielberg does demonstrate somewhat in Jaws is the theme of parent abandonment. He puts this theme that the police chief doesn’t have a strong relationship with his sons or anyone really. Throughout the film it seems like he spends so much time trying to protect his community and he’s so busy that he starts to separate from his family. It isn’t very noticeable but you can tell that the chief is very distracted by his job.This gives you this very conservative character that has space to grow in personality throughout the film. This growth mainly comes across towards the end as he is single handedly fighting Jaws. The first awestruck face we see is when a police officer discovers the first victims body. The actor displays a horrified face and Spielberg does a great job of using this awestruck face to delay him showing us the body. Another awestruck face was win the police chief sees the shark attack. Mr Spielberg adds to this by using a zoom affect that absorbs the background to the character. Another awestruck face we come across is when the lady first sees the shark fin of Jaws in the water coming towards the people in front of her. I think the prime example of awe stuck is when Jaws jumps up in front of the police chief and his face is in shock. Spielberg uses these affects to add a shock value into the film. Using these awestruck faces creates a more dramatic feeling and reaction. It also brings Jaws across as alot scarier as you see the damage hes done continue to increase. One backlight sillhouette used in Jaws was when the oceanographer and the chief of police went searching through the sharks body. This really puts almost a mysterious feel on the whole situation Another noted use of this feature is when our characters arrive upon the Fishermans abandoned boat. The lights gleam across the boat to add a feeling of discovery but also an uneasy feeling. The silhouette is also to show a change in the story line as the oceanographer finds the dead body. Another scene that this backlit setting occurs in is when the lights go out on the boat and you see the chiefs face in the light. It really showcases the intensity of the situation. The great director does this to add a dramatic affect to broaden the field that he can use for the scenarios. The more backlight the more it also compliments John Williams music. Spielberg only showcases the use of glass a few times throughout the movie. One of the times he uses it is when the Chief is looking through the window watching Quinn battle with the shark. Another film Mr. Spielberg uses this in is Strangers from a Close Encounter where the mom watches her boy leave through the window. One film Mr Spielberg uses this in also is ET. The boy watches ET through the window as he leaves. This cinematic adds a almost 'saying goodbye' feeling. This can also be reversed becasue may of these scenes in Spielbergs movies are towards the beginning as to welcome this curiosity affect within the window scene. This film uses the window shots more than Jaws. I believe that the most noticeable feature in the whole movie is the soundtrack. John Williams provides suspenseful music right before Jaws is about to eat someone. That feature alone adds this adrenaline for the viewer. Williams music also sets the pace for the movie at times. The music speeds up the movie while without the music you can feel the movie slowdown. The music is what makes Jaws. I believe Spielberg relied heavily on this music to enhance the movie. This adds excitement to 3 guys being on a boat making the pace increase at times and decrease at times.
