Film Analysis Intro


The movie I chose was Jaws (Steven Spielberg)

Scene I used (time code):
00:05:00 - 00:06:26

First Shot (00:05:00): Shot of man's head. Background in focus while foreground is blurred. Couple of seconds later, background is blurred and foreground is in focus. [racking focus]
Reason: ?

Second Shot (00:05:21): Camera follows man's movement. [tracking]
Reason: ?

Third Shot (00:05:38): Close up of man's face, camera moves back as character moves towards camera. [following shot]
Reason: ?

Fourth Shot (00:05:52): Close up of boys face and hand.
Reason:

Fifth Shot (00:06:01): Rule of thirds, close up of man on the phone. Foreground [man on telephone] in focus while background [wife and son] is blurred. [selective focus]
Reason: To emphasize the importance of the phone call
