02. The Shark P.O.V in Jaws (1975)
Fans of horror films are quite used to the serial killers point of view shots, but Spielberg took this in a new direction by shooting from the man-munching sharks viewpoint. The opening sequence to
Jaws really hammers home the vulnerability we are all susceptible to when swimming in the sea. However, it is the single shot of the Great White looking up at the female swimmer that is truly terrifying! Mixing impressive underwater shooting with John Williams' infamous score, this one shot almost single-handedly sets the entire tone of the movie: fear of the unexpected, nature at its most predatory and dangerous to humanity and complete and utter defencelessness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPEHygqoKZU
