Film Mod 12
I think that Spielberg did not withhold us from seeing the shark for too long. He made it so that we had something to look forward to by not showing it till more of the middle of the movie. The way that we were only able to see some of the shark made the ending more suspenseful and thrilling. From early on we were able to see the size of the shark and some of the images of the head, but it did kind of suck that we had to wait till the very end to see the full image of the shark and its whole body. Even though we didn’t see the full shark till later on the suspense of it made the movie better. It was nice to have an image in my mind of what I thought it was going to look like, and then actually see it. He made the timing of it very effective by only showing some parts of it and not all of it. The way that Spielberg did that put more suspense in the viewers, and made us sit on the edge of our seats till the end to see what happened.
A movie that I have seen that’s another one of Spielberg’s is Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park, is very similar is story style to Jaws. Both are about animals that are terrorizing a group of people, and that group of people try to contain them. When watching Jaws there were many parts of the storyline that remind me of Jurassic Park. There were many times where people were running away from the shark and that reminded me a lot about when people would run away from the dinosaurs. In both movies they had experts that were trying to help the people to find a solution to get the animals contained, or in Jaws case, kill the shark. Each movie was very suspenseful and thrilling, Jurassic Park a little more than Jaws. Spielberg definitely has a specific style when it comes to special effects. It seems that with both movies the special effects were over the top but really good. I think that for the time periods both movies were made the special effects were extremely good, and I would imagine that all of his other movies are the same too. Another
