Hi this is Steve. As a directing instructor I have an iPad full of movie clips I use in

lectures to illustrate points about camera blocking, production design, performance, music

editing, sound design, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I show clips

from Stanley Kubrick and Orson Wells, Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Wells, Alfred Hitchcock and Sergei Eisenstein,

but there is one movie I refer to more than any other film and that's Stephen Spielberg's Jaws.

Jaws is endlessly fascinating in terms of filmmaking.

We can talk about it's storytelling, the character development, the way the camera is moved, and of course the incredible score by John Williams.

Jaws is not only one of the greatest movies of all time, also one of the most important and the story behind

the film is just as dramatic as the movie itself.

Its unique storytelling, high concept, incredible performances and sheer terror have changed forever the way movies are made and marketed.

Joining us for this one, The Cinephiles is very proud to welcome animation producer and writer and lifelong Jaws super fan Eric Rogers.

So that's Stephen Spielberg's Jaws with special guest Eric Rogers this Friday on the

Cinefiles. We're really excited about this one.

I don't want no volunteers. I don't want no mates. There's too many captains on this island.

Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing. Hello and welcome once again to the cinnophiles where each week we enter the world of a great film.

We explore its themes, its history, the filmmaking, and the influence it has on us today.
