Jaws - The Second time

At the beginning of the semester we watched the movie Jaws. Watching it the for the first time already blew my mind. We had to watch it at the end of the semester with having this new knowledge we were taught throughout the semester, and I have to say I definitely appreciated this movie more. I don't know where to begin on this. First of all I never realized how sound was so important in movies, and Jaws was a great example of master sound. When the 2 men went out to hunt for the shark , the ocean sounded so crisp and easy on the ears. Even when they were battling the shark, the way the sound was set up made it so much more dramatic and really made me feel the environment they were in. Next what I have noticed was the way the director decided to shoot this movie. He really developed all of the characters in their unique way. The captain of the boat was just a bad ass with no fear , and then he has this scientist with him who at the beginning was a measly man who was very afraid of this shark. But then you get to see the transformation throughout of the measly man turning into a brave shark slayer. It shows that the average man can be bigger than life if he really tries. The Gaze is also something that should be considered in this movie because there were so many different views from everyone. The captain, The police officer and the scientist are the biggest influence of the gaze throughout and I really recommend anyone who hasn't  viewed this movie from a critic standpoint to check out those 3 things I have mentioned and see the big difference watching it again.
