Jaws
Sound is a key element in the film jaws as it sets the tone
of the entire film and emphasis the actual shark attack scenes where It is
used.
The sound in this clip is non
diegetic as it is not sourced from the screen and is added for a special
effect, for example a dramatic effect, which helps set the mood of the film.
This works well in this film as the sound that is added really does create a
dramatic feel and does help set a sturdy mood for the whole film.
The sound from jaws makes me
feel very anxious as the music seems to go on for ages even though in reality it
is only a few seconds. I constantly felt like I was on the edge of my seat as it
made me feel as though I wanted to watch more to see what would happen when the
music stops, as well as making me feel as though I wanted to stop and turn away
because it was so intense as it is never certain whether the shark will get
another victim.
The sound compliments the visuals
of the film as when the music Is played the audience always knows when the
shark is around. It causes a build up just before the shark is seen on screen
and just as the shark begins to attack its prey. The sound almost sounds like a
heart beat as well and this helps the film as we know while the victim is being
attacked their heartbeat would be through the roof. It almost mimics the
audience as while watching the film the audience would have a raised heart rate
as they would feel panicked and alert as to where or when the shark would pop up
next.
