Jaws Annalysis

Although the music in jaws does its job I feel like it usually starts too early. In the movie the shark music starts when everything is peaceful and well and this continues for some time before there are signs that all is not well. While this creates tension as you wait for the shark to attack, I feel like the music starts to early and there for you start to lose patients before the action in the movie starts. One thing I would do to fix this would be too start the music a bit closer to the action, that way right as the audience cant wait any longer the shark attacks and the tension is broken. This would greatly increase the effect and contribution of the music track to setting the scary mood. The sound has to work with the film to portray the mood and action of the movie best.
