http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-sX2Y0W8l0 Jaws was a very problematic shoot, which of course is public knowledge. One of the biggest problems on the shoot was the fact that the mechanical shark used to portray Jaws, the killer Great White shark, only worked half the time, and shots that were to feature the beast needed to be altered without the visual payoff. John Williams' simple 3 note composition saved the film and set a new standard for how film music can be used in relation the the visual and story of a film's narrative. The now notorious "Jaws Theme" is only heard when the shark is present, or at least should be present. Without seeing the shark the audience is gripped in suspense with Williams' heart pounding orchestral piece swelling to a dynamic peak, the power of his score is unmatched. Not only does Williams create one of the great themes in a film score but he also provides the film with a constant array of wonderfully composed pieces. The 3rd act of the film in particular, one in which we finally do see the shark on screen, is one of John Williams' finest moments. He creates a sense of wanton excitement on the open water, a feeling of isolation, dread, horror and finally celebration of capturing and killing the big fish. No other film score has been so universally recognized as Jaws was, and John Williams richly took home his 2nd Oscar for this masterpiece of film music.
