Analysis of Jaws


Colours
Use of red for the film name represents danger.
Gender specific colours - more aimed at males.
Mood - scary and fearful.


Composition
The layout is quite simply structured.
It focuses in on the shark and the title - the woman does not really stand out which shows us she is weak and insignificant compared to the shark and the deep blue water.


Captions
The text speaks indirectly to the audience.


Mise-en-Scene
Location is in the sea which relates to the sense of sharks being around.
The shark is doing an angry performance- teeth showing and aiming directly at the woman. It would create a different effect, less threatening/dangerous, if the shark was just swimming past the woman.


Denotations
The shark is extremley dangerous.


Connotations 
You may be used to swimming in deep water and realise the chance of getting attacked is very unlikely.
