Jaws

     Steven Spielberg's blockbuster, Jaws, shows how a horror film can be portrayed in a real life scenario. Spielberg didn't use a ghost or zombie in his film, but rather a shark, something most beachgoers fear running into. By realizing these fears, Spielberg creates a new type of horror film, one that could actually happen. The quality was extremely real for being made in the early 1970's, especially the animatronic shark, which still looks realistic today. Spielberg has been on the cutting edge of special effects and later in his career CGI. 

    Spielberg also brought in a cast of emerging thriller actors in Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss to co-star in this film. these new actors for a young director make this movie a true masterclass of low-budget, high-quality productions. The most captivating scene is in the interior of the boat at night. This scene is well directed as Robert Shaw's character, Captain Quint, transitions from cheery to sober as he tells his war story. This point in the movie sets up for the climax and foreshadows Quint's death the next day.
