    Peter Benchley's Jaws Book Report

    This is an account of the “current” U.S. events between the years 1968 and 1974. Since the book Jaws was written in 1975, these historical occurrences should serve as a background for what was happening in the years leading up to the book’s publication. These occurrences were no doubt instrumental in Peter Benchley’s writing, as I’m sure they served as a possible inspiration for some of the content in the book, as well as perhaps a metaphor for some of the subject matter.…

    Rhetoric Techniques In The Film Kong: Skull Island

    Though I squirmed more than I care to admit because CRAWLY THINGS... a part of me has to admit that I did kinda, sorta like the devil-could-care bombast of Kong: Skull Island. In some ways, it's a classic old cinematic monster movie, all gussied up for a 2017 audience. In other ways, this thing is just bonkers - a bizarre, strange-tasting goulash of 1970's war cinema with obtuse and empty rhetoric, campy acting, odd moments of humor, rather jarring violence, and actors sputtering off in all different directions.…

    ADAPTATION ANALYSIS OF JAWS

    The novel JAWS was conceived by author Peter Benchley which was released in 1974. Prior to the publication of the novel, Jaws immediately went out to movie auctions. Universal bought the rights for $150,000 in 1973, which was for Benchley, "the moon" (Davis, 2012). Robert Brown and Robert Zanuck loved the book so much that they immediately looked for a director to bring this book to life on the motion picture screen. An unknown individual named Steven Spielberg was hired to bring this story to life for viewing audiences. “We started the film without a script, without a cast and without a shark," Richard Dreyfuss would tell James Lipton during a taping of Inside the Actor's Studio years later (Nashawaty, 2011). Many screen writers including Steven Spielberg, Peter Benchley, Howard Sackler, Carl Gottileb, and John Millis changed the subplots of the book JAWS in order to make a believably terrifying movie experience based on Peter Benchley’s novel.…

    Defeat's Uncovering Depicted In The Movie Jaws

    My overall impression of the events is that I think what all the crew members and captains had to go through was really hard and miserable. They had to go through times when they could have gotten eaten up by a big shark or died of thirst and hunger. The way how Hunter Scott used the movie Jaws when Captain Quint tells the story of the sinking of the Indianapolis was just a cool way to learn about the sinking. Hunter Scott had a good imagination when he wanted to start the project and the interviews. Captain Mcvay’s life after the sinking was really hard and not necessary for him to get hate messages in the mail about how it was his fault that a lot of the crew members died.…

    Analysis of the film Jaws

    The beginning of the film Jaws starts of with the first attack. This scares the viewer from the very start and excites them, wanting to know what happens next and who else will be victims. The first victim, a girl, is attacked at night, so this would mean it would have been dark. This is done for two reasons, one the dark is scary to everyone as no one can see what is coming for them, or what it out there, and that links into the second reason, so we don’t see the shark, leaving a sense of mystery. The camera shot changes from being at eye level with the girl to the point of view of the shark. Being at eye level with the girl makes the person watching feel as if they are in the film itself, and can make the person feel more fear as they also know that there is something fast approaching because the shot keeps changing to the point of view of the shark, looking up at the girl swimming. When the shark attacks the girl it keeps the shot at eye level with the girl making the viewer feel as if it could be them. Then the girl is dragged under the water right in front of the camera, making it feel as if it is close to the viewer but also confirming that the girl defiantly has gone under the water. Then in the next part of the movie where they find the body one the beach, the viewer is the last to see the body. This holds suspense and makes the viewer want to see it more as they see everyone else see the body of the girl and reel back in horror, but also makes them not want to see it, as they can see it will be gruesome. When the report is being filled out for the death there is a close up shot of ‘shark attack’ being typed, this is the first time there is some confirmation that it was a shark that killed the girl, and also it makes the viewer look out for a shark in all the other scenes to come.…

    Stephen Spielberg's The Jaws

    The Jaws has become an icon of the successful horror movie which brought an unexpected success to its director Stephen Spielberg back in 1975. The movie was based on the same name novel by Peter Benchley who released the book in 1974. It is known that the producer of the movie Richard D Zanuck was a fan of the Jaws book thus he decided to make a salable movie on its basis (Gottlieb, 9). After rapid preparations Stephen Spielberg was assigned to become a director of the movie and for a while the process of the shooting was going well. Yet there were small problems with the whole scene play: there was no script, no cast, and no shark.…

    Jaws

    Steven Spielberg created a film based off the thriller novel, Jaws, by Peter Benchley. Both the movie and the book tell the story of a giant man-eating great white shark and focus on the terror brought to the people of Amity Island. The movie does follow the novel’s main story line closely, however, when a producer turns a book into a film, it’s practical for one to thicken its plot line, and for two, tell the original story. The horror brought by the shark’s attacks are illustrated vividly throughout the text, as the film on the other hand , does not express the genre as the way the text does.…
