Director of Jaws, Jurassic Park and Minority Report.
Steven Allan Spielberg, s an American director, producer, and screenwriter. He is considered one of the founding pioneers as well as being viewed as one of the most popular directors and producers in film history. “The Spielberg Face” was first used to great effect in Jaws. The idea is simple, zoom in on a character as they are looking at something. Most of the time, this character is amazed, and their face is full of surprise, and the thing that they are looking at is not revealed to the audience until after the character shows their expression. One of his favourite camera angles is using a mirror or window reflection to capture his characters indirectly. He uses this technique to show the face of a character when the camera is located behind them. The use of John Williams to score the soundtracks to his films, this makes them so recognisable.
