Every fans of the film has basic memories of the moments when they were really scared of the growing movies. For me, looking Classic flop for horror movie "Nightbreed" at the age of 10 was probably not the best idea. The testimony of the whole family killed by a brazenly hellish before seeing that a man cut off his face and engulfed his own body while he was subdued by hospital staff, is now forever engraved in my cortex. But before I smeared my young mind for a good with the unpleasant little fantasy of Clevel Barker - and before I even knew what the horror movie was like - Steven Spielberg secured my own, and the first big films of the whole generation.

In fact, he managed to secure a whole plaque of scared with the 1975 "jaws". So effective in harassing the audience was this inaugural blockbuster that Early display of "jaws" had vomiting of audiences. By the time I was a child in the early 1990s, there was still a visible "jaw" caused by fear among adults, the one I quickly met when I was allowed to watch the film for myself.

Aside from the district level of fear that I remember from first viewing, the highest shocking moment - the one that formed the basic memory - was when she damned her head floating from the submerged ship. May not be one of the The highest moments in the "jaws", But the scene in which Richard Dreyfus, Matt Houper offers to examine the semi-plastic ship of the fishermen Ben Gardner (played by the true fisherman Craig Kingsbury), just for Gardner's long-term head to get out of the bottom, is surely the first experience of many people in the jump. That was the moment when the "jaws" got into full territory of horror, and I think it's fair to say that this scene remains an important moment in the history of horror, even if watching as an adult does not have the same impact-especially when you know that the key moment was shot in the pool.

Knowing how and when the scene is shot can sometimes be a deflationary experience. Now, when I know the whole house "Home alone" was a set built in a school gym, for example, a small piece of magic is lost every time I rethink it. Similarly, knowing that the head recorded by the "jaws" was recorded in a pool type of horror. However, on the other hand, the whole thing makes it more impressive when you know how Steven Spielberg and the company actually got it.

In the film, the discovery of Ben Gardner's body could be the biggest fear of the whole film. As it turns out, this bit was added only after the initial test screening left Spielberg looking forward to getting another cry from the audience. It was not enough that a man threw himself as he watched the collapse of the poor young Alex Kintner (Effeefrey Voriches), the director wanted another great scares, and so was the unwanted shot on his head. But Spielberg shouldn't have gathered the entire "jaws" team in Martha's vineyard, where the film was filmed. Instead, he remained local and used the pool of his editor in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Van Nuis.

As told in making Fuck youUniversal paintings have already signed the latest reduction when Spielberg enrolled in VFX specialist Kevin Pike, Cascar Frank Sparks and editor Verna Shields to help create an inserted footage he needed. As the director recalls:

"That scene was already shot, but it wasn't done to shock the audience and that's why I went to faithful Shields" (...) and borrowed her pool because I didn't.

In EmpireThe oral history of "Jaws", the writer and actor of Livadi, Carl Gottlib, reminded of how "no more money to shoot" at the time Spielberg decided to add Gardner's extra scene. According to Gottlieb, the director said he would pay for the filming and "skeletal crew" on the production team headed to the Shields' house, where they threw "half a gallon of milk" in the pool to make it "more photogenic". In making the features, Pique recounts how he used a small replica of the ship on a boat he built on someone's trail, which they immersed in the pool along with Ben Gardner's cast, Craig Kingsbury. After throwing Tarpaulin over the pool itself, Sparks stopped for Drayfus, holding the flashlight next to the corpse as Pique pushed Gardner thrown through the hole in the hull. The result was one of the most terrible moments on the screen in the history of the cinema. As Spielberg recalls, "I remember, I used it to get it for the maximum effect of shock."

Steven Spielberg certainly managed to get the desired shock effect. If the first test screenings had already traumatized the audience, the reviews of Ben Gardner's head were something else. Reinstalling the most satisfying editing she made in Jaws after her victory at the Academy of Best Film Edit, Verna Shields said:

"The most satisfying arrangement, I must say, was the person who came out of the ship because when I went to that review and that audience only went six meters from their places and missed this incredible scream. It was really satisfying."

As disturbing as the false Gardner was, the Shields really deserves a large part of the loan to make this hasty-insert one of the most memorable moments in the "jaws". In fact, she was integral to make the film so effectively disturbing throughout the whole period. As Spielberg put him in the craftsmanship, "faithful did a great job with his bio-rhythms, creating a bio-rhythm for the" jaws ". It was just the right type of tightening, like a violin wire, playing a very, very high note. "

Spielberg ended up making a compensation for the extra scene. Carl Gottlib claimed that the universal directors once saw it: "They asked how much the studio costed," Good "and paid for what proved to be the main point in the film." "Woulde we stopped at the back and watched 1000 heads jumping at the same time," he said. "Then we would laugh and bother each other and go out for the evening." However Shooting "Jaws" He was glorified for Spielberg, at least he and his writer had the time of life after creating one of the most famous Savage animal attack horror movies Sometimes traumatizing several generations.
