Is a real shark used or is it just computerised?

Question

Can any one tell me, is the shark in "Jaws" real or just computerized? When I saw that movie I got confused. I have also seen Jaws 2.

Answer 1

The shark in Jaws was neither real nor CGI. It was a mechanical being (called "Bruce") that kept breaking down on set. That is supposedly why we don't see much of the beast in the movie. Instead, we often see a point-of-view (POV) shot from the shark's perspective with John Williams's pounding and relentless music playing.
