LSC Clips: JAWS (1975) - "Story Midpoint"

A Celebration of Spielberg's Adventure Thriller Classic JAWS (1975)

JAWS is a great example of the power, potential, and importance of the "Story Midpoint."

One can view the midpoint often as a "Point of No Return," as a "First Culmination," and or as a glimpse of "How the story could end." Spielberg, in a sense, does all three here. And it is noticable.

Not many films have such a contrast between their first part and second part, but in JAWS this is evident in story and in visual/setting.

As discussed in this clip, and to a deeper extent in the full episode, JAWS is a film about convincing a community there is a monster in their midst, until the midpoint changes this, and it becomes a film about hunting and stopping that monster.
