Jaws theme music. opening credits

Just under halfway of this clip about 1.30 in the famous theme music is used to show the tension within the scene and to have the audiences hiding in there hands or jumping on there feet screaming "get out of the water".

The music for this film is one of the most iconic theme tunes in the world and scared audiences all over the world in 1975.

This theme tune edited over a dark screen starts of with a few beats, which slowly more are added and the pace is quickened. A dolly shot then fades in of under the sea as the camera flows forward through the reeds and other sea plants. The title "JAWS" appears  on screen and fades off. The music has now got a bass beat which some of them are elongated to make the audience jump because of there high jump in key changes. As the camera is still going through sea plants you think something it going to jump out at you. The camera's focus becomes closer and closer and the music's volume levels become louder and louder and the camera closes onto some reeds as the music's pinnacle point happens, which make the audience jump because it jump cuts to another scene.
