This variety proves that Williams wasn’t just writing scary music; he was writing a full dramatic arc.
Tracks like "Out to Sea" and the early scenes in Amity Island feature a lighter, more nautical touch. Williams utilizes a sea-faring style, evoking the tradition of British nautical music. There is a false sense of security in these pieces; they sound like a standard adventure film. This musical contrast makes the intrusion of the dissonant shark theme all the more jarring.
