Title: Jaws trailer commentary
Full Transcript: The narrator describes the use of music in the movie Jaws to create tension and suspense. The iconic two-note theme represents the presence of the shark and builds anxiety. The music changes when the scene switches to a beach, creating a calm atmosphere. The boat scene is filled with sound effects and intense music, heightening the suspense. The narrator's low-toned voice adds to the unsettling feeling. The music continues until the end, leaving the audience on edge. So here we have the narrator with a very low-toned voice, kind of giving off an unsettling feeling as you have the point of view of the shark coming up from the water. He's kind of building tension here, it's kind of the music of itself as a character, because whenever the music plays, the shark is there all the time. Big loud scream there. Basically switches to the sound of the arcade game when that sort of sound changes, the scenery changes, so now we're on a beach. The music's all happy now, there's no sense that the shark is there, it's just a normal beach scene. But as that theme comes up, I mean, the Jaws theme, those two notes, they're like a feeling of suspense, you know, kind of, you know, I think the soundtrack, people remember the soundtrack in many ways because, you know, it's that anxiety, it's that tension whenever the shark's there, you know something nasty's going to happen, you know, it really, people remember it a lot, it really, it really strikes them. Here's the music again. And we're on the boat scene. Really a lot of sound effects in this scene in particular, the loud music obviously, sort of foot slipping when he's on the boat, all the gunshots when they're trying to shoot the shark, the barrels coming out of the water, and that music's just getting louder and louder, getting more suspenseful, got the barrels crashing the windows of the boat, just not good all around, just the music and everything, just all the screaming, all the commotion, and then there's the narrator again with his sort of low, low voice, low timbred voice, two notes at the very, very end, when it's saying all the actors' names, making them all on edge, yeah, that's that.
