JAWS: Study Guide Name: ____________________________________ Date: _________________ Period:______ Film Study 2 – Ms. Jones JAWS: Study Guide 1. The opening scene is one of the most shocking scenes in cinema history. Evaluate the cinematic techniques that Spielberg employs to both prepare and shock us. Sound/Music Color Cinematography Editing 2. Police Chief Martin Brody is portrayed differently from some of the other authority figures we have seen in other movies this year. What differentiates this police officer from others we have seen? 3. Besides the shark, who is the antagonist? Why is this person an obstacle to the protagonist? 4. What fear does Chief Brody have to conquer in order to solve his central conflict? 5. Quint and Hooper compare scars to size up their masculinity. In doing so, they bond together. What about this act defines what it means to be a man to these men? 6. Quint’s recounting of the U.S.S. Indianapolis is true. Research it online. When you hear Quint recount this story, does your opinion of him change? Why or why not? Is he still a stereotypical fisherman, a revenge- seeking lunatic, or someone else? Explain. 7. Why does Quint break the radio, preventing them from being able to communicate with anyone? 8. Certainly, the central conflict of Jaws is man vs. nature. Explain how man vs. self and man vs. man are evident in this movie, too. Man vs. Nature Man vs. Self Man vs. Man Discussion Questions 1. One of the themes of Jaws is “Materialistic consumption (i.e. money) shouldn’t drive one’s life.” Explain how the people of Amity Island forget that money isn’t everything. 2. How is Quint a stereotype of a fisherman? What characteristics does he possess that showcase this stereotype? 3. Jaws’ musical score, written by John Williams, is one of the most famous scores of cinema history. How does Horner adjust the pitch, volume, and tempo of the score to the suspense of the film? 4. Jaws is the first film we’ve seen that can be considered a “creature feature.” Creature features are movies that feature monsters or aliens that terrorize a group of people. Typically, monsters are a manifestation of our inner fears. What fears does Jaws manifest? Why? 5. Roughly, Spielberg shot twenty-five percent of the film from water level to provide the viewers the perspective as if they were treading water. What is the effect of these shots on you? Are there other shots that Spielberg employs that heighten the suspense? Genre Study Jaws is a film in the genre of horror thriller. Look at the definitions of both genres by themselves and then the hybrid definition of both genres, which is provided by Wikipedia. Horror films are movies that strive to elicit responses of fear, horror and terror from viewers. Their plots frequently involve themes of the supernatural. Horror movies also usually include a central villain. Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains. Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings and cliffhangers are used extensively. In horror thrillers, conflict between the main characters is mental, emotional, and physical. What sets the horror thriller apart is the main element of fear throughout the story. The main character(s) is not only up against a superior force, but they are or will soon become the victims themselves and directly feel the fear that comes by attracting the monster's attention. Other well-known examples are Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, Thomas Harris' The Silence of the Lambs, Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later, or any of the Saw films. Horror thrillers have been criticized for graphic violence and dismissed as low budget B-movies and exploitation films. Is Jaws such a film? Make an argument criticizing or defending Jaws. .

  • Fact File Poem/Song Programme 5 22 May by Sam Mcbratney
    B B C Northern Ireland Learning One Potato, Two Potato Summer 2007 Wasps Programme 5 By Sam McBratney 22 May Wasps are considered to be a hazard by many people during the warmer months. In today’s story Colvin decides he is a friend of wasps – though later he is not so sure. Fact File • There are more then one million different species of insect, divided into thirty major groups, separated mainly by differences in the wings and the methods of feeding. • Wasps have biting jaws, used for eating solid food (as have grasshoppers and beetles). The jaws are not inside the mouth, but are really special legs, just outside the mouth. There are sharp teeth on them which cut the food into small pieces. Other ‘legs’ around the mouth help to hold the food and put it into the mouth when it has been cut up. The jaws and other feeding limbs are collectively known as the mouth-parts of the insect. • The wasp’s sting is its means of defence. Unlike some other insects and animals which employ camoufl age as a protection, wasps depend on their bold colours as a warning to predators. Only female wasps can sting. • Some insects, such as the hoverfl y, survive because their colours resemble a wasp’s. Birds avoid them for this reason. There are many such examples of mimicry in a variety of harmless insects. Poem/Song It’s morning in the kitchen, Soon breakfast will begin; We’ll have bread with jam or honey And some fancy biscuits from the tin.

  • "It's Aimed at Kids - the Kid in Everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment by Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK
    "It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment By Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK When Star Wars was released in May 1977, Time magazine hailed it as "The Year's Best Movie" and characterised the special quality of the film with the statement: "It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody" (Anon., 1977). Many film scholars, highly critical of the aesthetic and ideological preoccupations of Star Wars and of contemporary Hollywood cinema in general, have elaborated on the second part in Time magazine's formula. They have argued that Star Wars is indeed aimed at "the kid in everybody", that is it invites adult spectators to regress to an earlier phase in their social and psychic development and to indulge in infantile fantasies of omnipotence and oedipal strife as well as nostalgically returning to an earlier period in history (the 1950s) when they were kids and the world around them could be imagined as a better place. For these scholars, much of post-1977 Hollywood cinema is characterised by such infantilisation, regression and nostalgia (see, for example, Wood, 1985). I will return to this ideological critique at the end of this essay. For now, however, I want to address a different set of questions about production and marketing strategies as well as actual audiences: What about the first part of Time magazine's formula? Was Star Wars aimed at children? If it was, how did it try to appeal to them, and did it succeed? I am going to address these questions first of all by looking forward from 1977 to the status Star Wars has achieved in the popular culture of the late 1990s.
