Two main shots used in this scene are
          - Long Shot (To capture the action around the beach)
          - Over the Shoulder (To focus on the old crazy guy)

    2.

The POV from the shark, I think they made that shot to let the audience know what was going to happen next and keep them on their toes kind of.
    2. The close up to the sheriff when the shark attacked the kid, he knew that there was a shark and was worried about it and in that shot the thing that he was most afraid would happen happened, I think it was to show the audience the instant regret of not closing the beach.]]>     2021-09-15 16:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743442323     1) The fast zoom in on the police chiefs face and medium shot of the shark coming, 3832442 https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743443558 2. The fast zoom in is supposed to bring out the fear that the chief is scared when he see the shark trying to attack and kill kids, and the shark closing in on the child to attack]]> 2021-09-15 16:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743443558 I noticed extreme close shot at the beginning of the scene also long shot when they camara was focus on the people swimming. 4683291 https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743443642 2021-09-15 16:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743443642 long shot and close up https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743444797 Long shot when the kids where shown playing in the water and close up when the sheriff sees the girl getting attacked in the water.

Establishing shot of the people at the beach, with the sheriffs head in frame. https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743446541 2. Pov shot of the sheriff, where hes talking to the guy but focusing on the girls in the water.

    1. This is meant to both show the amount of people at the beach and to show the sheriffs reaction. This could be considered a close up, because we are close enough to see his emotions. However, the other focus is to display the crowd at the beach.

    2. This is meant to show where the sheriffs attention really is. The guy who is talking to him is out of focus, while the camera focuses on the girl screaming. Even though she isnt in danger, it shows what has the sheriffs attention

    Long shot/sheriff's POV of the water and the screaming girl sorta makes you worry with him and it looks like something bad is about to happen to her ]]>     2021-09-15 17:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743448103     4500322 https://padlet.com/alex_lathrop/63onqy31eb2e5ssj/wish/1743448655 The over the shoulder shot of the sheriff getting increasingly worried as the person he is talking to is not bothered.

    2) I think the close up was showing his emotion of being terrified that it happened again. The other shot was trying to show what impact the shark and do in the ocean also when she mention the kid Alex is shows what happens to him. Also the is a separate between the water and the surface, so I think it’s like a sign to beware of the water.
