Shot mostly on location on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, the film had a troubled production, going over budget and past schedule. As the art department's mechanical sharks suffered many malfunctions, Spielberg decided to mostly suggest the animal's presence, employing an ominous, minimalistic theme created by composer John Williams to indicate the shark's impending appearances. Spielberg and others have compared this suggestive approach to that of classic thriller director Alfred Hitchcock. Universal Pictures gave the film what was then an exceptionally wide release for a major studio picture, over 450 screens, accompanied by an extensive marketing campaign with a heavy emphasis on television spots and tie-in merchandise.

Amity Island - trailer for a spec streaming series #jaws #sequel
I've written a spec pilot script (and outlined the overall story arc) for a proposed streaming series called "Amity Island," set in the familiar Jaws universe. My dream is to bring Richard Dreyfuss, Carl Gottlieb, and Ian Shaw together for a "sequel" that lifelong Jaws fans deserve. There are some other familiar characters in the script, including Lenny Hendricks and Larry Vaughn Jr. I'm hoping these and other surviving cast members will climb aboard. But first, there's the issue of actually getting Universal to consider it. Because this is a spec script, they won't even look at it.
