At last, an answser here! Scanning thru the JAWS LOG, about the making of the film, the schedule and budget doubled. 5 1/2 months was mentioned as when they got back (from hell), though I couldn't specifically find the shooting time. That fits with Eight weeks (48 days). being a "typical" feature film production time; Jaws, being a major feature, would be more. This doesn't include post production (editing, effects, music, etc) Titanic (1997) had a 6 month (163 day) shoot. UPDATE:"...grueling five-month shoot on Martha's Vineyard." Spielberg was only able to get a handful of the planned shark shots filmed over the course of the excruciating five-month shoot. Therefore, he was forced to substantively change the film on the fly. "Bruce" or "The Great White Turd" as Spielberg called the mechanical shark, was a major problem. Shooting at sea led to many delays. http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/jaws30th.php
