The original Jaws used three mechanical sharks, which were all nicknamed Bruce (after Steven Spielberg's lawyer).

The only real shark footage in the original film is the scene where Matt Hooper is attacked in the underwater shark cage. That was filmed with a real shark, off the coast of Australia. They used a miniature cage with a dwarf ("little person") actor, to make the shark look gigantic.

I'm not sure how much, if any, real footage was used in the Jaws sequels. Although it is safe to say that the sequels mostly employed mechanical sharks, just like the original film did.
