Close Call or Clever Editing?

I really can't tell

[Brooklyn Bully]

Fake.

Love how it's "Fights off Great White Shark"...no fight there, Shark was just like, "Sup?"

[Captroop]

I say edited. The really unconvincing, "Shaaak!" and the underwater scream sound pretty damn fake. BTW, knowing how cameras typically work, the idea that the shark would be perfectly framed up and crystal clear has me thinking this would be pretty unlikely to accomplish on a GoPro.

Lol.., Great White in confined body of water? I'll go dive in my local quarry and see if I spot great white.

Okay, what's worse?

Cleverly editing a faked "fighting off a great white" or really "fighting off a fake great white?"

This has a better chance of being genuine

I can tell you I much prefer this horrible practical effects shark as opposed to the animated sharks in movies now. This devouring is a lot more brutal than anything that's in any CGI shark movie in recent memory.

 

What bothers me about that scene now is it's so tightly edited that you never see Quint grab the machete he stuck in the side of the ship earlier. I didn't even notice Quint was stabbing Jaws until the forth or fifth time I saw the scene.

The best shark attack scene ever caught on film...

"Oh poo, is that the shark from Deep Blue Sea? *PUNCH* That's for eating Samuel L. Jackson, you motherfuger!"

What I was going to say made it fake is that the water in Sydney harbor is crystal clear, it's not that dark and would have seen a shark a ways off

[bLACKpANTHER]

i knew it was fake but it still made my heart kinda race

 

well done

Yeah the friend yelling shark sounded pretty fake. But actually yelling in the direction of a shark is supposed to be one method of getting the shark to turn away.

If a shark attack is imminent while you are in the water, splash and yell just enough to keep the shark at bay. Sometimes yelling underwater or slapping the water repeatedly will scare the shark away. Conserve your strength for fighting in case the shark attacks.

But what gets me is this... the water seems a little murky. I know that when I swim at the beach, I can't see more than a few inches in front of me. I didn't see goggles on him, but somehow he was able to find the shark several feet away without goggles or presumably being able to see the camera's viewfinder. Yet, he yelled and splashed appropriately as if he knew the shark's whereabouts at all times.
