The guys with the roast (pic 5) and the first victim (pic 11) are being shot in the middle of the day. Almost all of the outdoor night scenes in Jaws were shot what we call “day for night” where they use colour correction and adjustments to brightness to make daytime footage appear as though it’s happening under the moonlight.
It’d be real tough to properly expose the open water with the film technology of the time.

First movie that literally scared the crap out of me

It’s incredible to imagine what a different film Jaws would have been if the shark *had* been functioning as planned. It might have been just another creature feature with nice camera work. The fact that you have to let your imagination do most of the work elevated it to new heights in psychological terror.
