In the opening scene of Jaws a worms eye shot is used to great effect. There is a shot where the camera is looking at girl swimming in the sea from below the water. The shot is like its from the point of view of something in the water. This lets the audience know that there is some sort of creature watching the girl. This creates a sense of fear and wonder as to what it could be and what it will do. It sets the theme for the whole film that there is something beneath the water and its always watching you. This shot also makes the girl look very isolated and alone and that if anything was to happen there would be no one that could help her. .
