Scene 14

Scene 11

Scene 17

Nudity is used to show how Rose is freeing herself from the outside world. Nude scenes are very rare is movies but it is used in Titanic to make Rose become admirable and desirable toward Jack. It also shows the intimate relationship between Jack and Rose behind closed doors. This scene represents that Rose doesn't have anything to hide compare to how she first arrived on the ship to where she is now. It also gives the intense sexual desire of wanting Rose and how she wants to escape her reality to do want makes her happy. Ever since she got interested in Jacks artwork, posing naked for him shows that she's showing interest to be with him.

Scene 10

In this shot is the last sunset that appears in the film before the sinking of RMS Titanic. The high key lighting and wide angle shot shows that they are enjoying each other and the beauty of the sunset before the disaster takes place. This sunset foreshadows the nearing towards death.

This scene shows the reaction of Rose finding out that Jack stole her "Heart of the Ocean necklace". The high key lighting is used to represent the mystery and thrill of why Jack had the diamond in his coat pocket. This photo contains a dull yellow filter to represent the caution and jealousy that Caledon has for Jack and Rose. This jealousy causes him to create a plan that involves putting the diamond necklace in Jack's pocket hoping that his fiancée, Rose, will realize Jack’s a thief and liar. The diamond had originally been in the safe the entire time but this framing causes Jack to be arrested and handcuffed to a pipe. The character placement is also unique because it shows that Jack and Rose are trapped between Caledon and his bodyguard, Spicer Lovejoy (David Warner).

Part 2

This shot shows the relationship of Jack and Rose after they first met. The close up shows the reaction of how Jack feels about falling in love with Rose. Jack just confessed his love for her but that changed when she said, "I'm engaged and love Caledon". The frost glass between Jack and Rose is used to show the desire of privacy to keep parts of her inner life hidden. This disorientation causes her to become confused of making a choice to marry Caledon or fall in love with a low class man. This emotion causes Rose to be placed in a tight situation between following what she must have and doing what she desires. The framing also represents that she’s trapped between her thoughts and realizes that she has to make a decision soon.

Scene 12

Scene 16

Scene 19

In these shots are the famous musicians who died aboard the RMS Titanic. Actors Lorenz Hasler, Thomas Füri, Ferenc Szedlák, Béla Szedlák, and Werner Giger represent the eight musicians who died trying to ease the tension of the sinking ship. Wallace Henry (Bandleader), Roger Bricoux, Theodore Brailey, John Clarke, John Hume, George Krins, John Woodward and Percy Taylor were the real musician on aboard the RMS Titanic. There were two myths that stated why the musicians were playing as the ship was sinking. The first myth was stated that it was the captains’ orders to calm down passengers on board and keep it "Nice and Cheery" while the second myth was that they had the choice to save themselves but instead they decided to play while the RMS Titanic was sinking. During that night they played several songs but the last song they played before Titanic sank was called ‘Nearer, My God, To Thee’.

In this scene, James Cameron uses a blue filter to express the emotions of Captain Smith, (Bernard Hill) reacting to the presence of an ice berg ahead. This filter expresses the emotions of sadness, gloom and fear of hitting the ice berg. Character placement is also important in this photo. The ice berg is centered directly in the middle to show the importance of what lies ahead of the passengers aboard Titanic.

In this shot is a not very subtle allusion towards the figure Cupid. Cupid, one of the gods in Roman mythology, is the god that controls desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. This scene is an allusion that gives the idea of cupid directing Jack and Rose paths. The placement of Cupid symbolize that they have been struck by a bow due to the way they are gaze at each other. This also symbolizes that that there is an attraction developing within the two characters.

Scene 28

Part 1

Scene 13

Juxtaposition is used again to remind audiences the difference between past and present. The shots on the left present the past and the shots on the right represent the present. These images reminds audiences of the disaster that happen on the night the RMS Titanic sank and the different stages that occurred before it was destroyed.

Scene 18

This close up shot shows the relationship between Caledon and Rose after her sexual intercourse with Jack. Once they were gone, Caledon and his bodyguard, Spicer Lovejoy, found a nude drawing of Rose drawn by Jack Dawson. Once Caledon picked it up, he realized it had a note from Rose, saying "Now you can keep us both locked in your safe". After he read it, his anger towards Rose grew which caused him to slap her without any regrets. Caledon no longer sees Rose as his potential wife but instead, he sees her as his property. The filter is a dull yellow to symbolize Caledon’s jealous of Jack since his bodyguard; Spicer Lovejoy found them together multiple times.

In this medium shot shows the happiness Rose feels about breaking free from her situation and following her heart. Her hands resemble the wings of a bird as she soars across the ocean. When birds fly, they show a connection between the sky and the land but once they spread their wings they symbolize freedom and eternal life. Rose no longer wants to feel trapped and in prison by her repetitive lifestyle and decides to feel herself from the obstacles she's facing.

Scene 1

Scene 29

In this shot, Officer Murdoch (Ewan Steward) shoots a low class passenger who got pushed forward due to difficulty to survive. Officer Murdoch wanted order and began shooting multiply passengers and then creates suicide by shooting himself in the head during the sinking of Titanic. After killing a passenger, the Birdseye view is used to express the death of the passenger’s soul leaving his body. As a result, his soul has now entered heaven where he’s finally at rest.

Scene 6

Scene 20

These close up shots are used to show Rose's reaction to being told what to do. In the first shot, Caledon just told Rose, "She's going to be a whore to a gutter rat" since she refuses to go with him and she responds by saying, "I rather be his whore than be your wife" and then spits on him. Spitting is used to express her feelings of hate, anger, and disrespect for Caledon. It also symbolizes unarmed combat and is a skill that she learned while being with Jack. In the other shots, a man is forcing Rose to come with him even though she is constantly saying; I need your help, to rescue someone." He is not listening to her and she suddenly punches him in the face. Punching is used to symbolize Rose's anger towards being told what to do. She’s anger and feels helpless that he's dragging her by her arm. After punching him, she sees an axe and frees Jack from his handcuffs.

In this shot is Margaret (Molly) Brown (Katy Bates), Thomas Andrews (Victor Garber), and Bruce Ismay (Jonathan Hyde). They represent high class individuals that abroad the RMS Titanic. Molly Brown is the most famous survivor from the Titanic wreck due to her ability to help individuals survive. Thomas Anderson was the shipbuilder of the RMS Titanic who unfortunately died when Titanic sink. Bruce Ismay, director of the White Star Line, was another survivor who survived Titanic but turned his back against the ship because he couldn't watch his unsinkable creation sink.

Scene 3

Scene 30

Titanic

Shot by Shot

Christopher McDonald

In the closing scenes, Director James Cameron uses close up shots to show Rose's story becoming complete. Before Jack died, he told her, "You're going to die an old lady, warm in your bed,” which foreshadowed what actually occurred at the end of the movie. I personally believe, Rose dies of old age in her bed and returns to heaven, to join the rest of the victims who perished in the tragic Titanic incident. Once in heaven, the victims are present, celebrating Rose’s returned to her true love, Jack. Before she dies she throws "The Heart of the Ocean Necklace" in the water to symbolize she is returning to Jack and nothing can get in the way of their relationship. The necklace also shows the relationship she had on the ship with him and the experiences they shared together. For example, when Rose first got the necklace it represented Caledon’s power over Rose but once it became in between Jack and Rose it symbolize the trust they had for each other such as their love, passion, and intimacy..

In this shot shows the elder version of Rose (Gloria Stuart) recognizing her younger self through a picture that was drawn by Jack Dawson. A close up shot is used to bring the audience to focus on Rose's reaction since she has not seen this picture for many years. Rose shows emotional response of seeing herself when she was young again. This response causes flashbacks of her previous life. This image also plays a significant role because she is wearing "The Heart of the Ocean" necklace. "The Heart of the Ocean" necklace is used to replicate the actual diamond owned by Louis XVI in the RMS Titanic called the "Hope Diamond". This diamond was originally cut into a heart shape and purchased by Caledon Hockley for his fiancée Rose.

The photos on the top are the activities Jack and Rose planned to do together after Titanic docked. These photos are located near Rose’s bed side which contains photographs of Rose riding a horse, flying a plane, fishing and going on a roller coaster just like Jack and her wanted to do together. Rose kept her promise to Jack, to never let go and as result, she became a strong, optimistic, and caring person.

In the opening scenes of the movie, director James Cameron starts off with a medium and an extreme long shot. These photos contain yellow and black filters to represent that Titanic was set in the past. The scenes above shows a flashback of what occurred during the day Titanic set sail. The emotions and reactions of the various individuals on board symbolize the excitement people felt on that exact day. Also the people waving from the balcony compared to the individuals waving from the harbor can show a class difference. The families might not have been able to afford Titanic but came to wish the travelers a safe journey.

Scene 21

Lighting is used to represent Rose coming into her senses. This light bulb appearance symbolizes the various ideas that she has throughout the movie. The lighting first occurs when her mother asked, "If the boats are going to be divided based on class." After this comment Rose realizes that half the people aboard Titanic are going to die and her mother’s only concerned is the class difference regarding the boats. This lighting makes her realize the things her mother and Caledon really care about. As a result, their behavior gives her the motive to save the only person she truly loves. In the last shot, lighting is shown to represent Rose's idea to survive. Time is passing by and people are dying from hydrothermal. Rose made a choice to leave the floating wood and use all her strength she has to save herself. The elder Rose stated, "1500 people went in the water, 20 boats were floating by and only one came back to rescue six individuals including herself."

Scene 26

These shots show the desperate needs of individuals to survive. Officer Murdoch saves, "Your money can't save you anymore than it can save me" which symbolizes that even though Caldeon is rich, he is mostly likely to drown just as a low class passenger would. His money is useless because it cannot save anyone especially himself from the sinking ship. In the other shots are passengers praying in order to survive. They hope that God would answer their prayers and send help before they die and as a result, time is passing by and they have about an hour before the boat completely sinks.

Scene 8

This picture contains low key lighting to create the mood of being under water. The spotlight from the submarines is use to clarify the remains and search for Titanic. It also uses a wide angle shot to symbolize the sadness and loneliness of searching for the ship by Brock Lovett and his team.

Scene 2

This shot shows how Rose feels helpless and trapped in various situations. For example, she is surrounded by bars and men to show that her mom is forcing her to marry Caledon due to his wealthiest and fame in society. Rose feels pressured and does not want to commit to him as yet. Her drive between reality and her internal struggle gives her the motive to create suicide to free herself of being something she's not until she’s rescued by a low class man named Jack.

The Juxtaposition shots give audiences the difference between past and present. The photos on the right represent the items on the RMS Titanic before the incident happen, while the photos on the right represent the present. These photos are symbolic because they show the exact positions of the original design being replicated to how they appeared on the Titanic ship.

Scene 23

In this scene, oblique angles are used to emphasize the tension of the tilting ship.

Scene 24

In the shots above, symbolizes the different roles Thomas Andrews and Bruce Ismay played in the sinking of Titanic. Thomas Andrews stayed on Titanic and stated “he's sorry for not building a stronger ship” while Bruce Ismay loaded a lifeboat and escaped the disaster. As a result, Thomas Andrews is famous for going down with his creation while Bruce Ismay stated, "he could not bear to watch his creation being destroyed.”

In these scenes, Jack and Rose are running to escape the tragic water flooding the floor. There running towards the camera in which there movement seems slower and frustrating, because it takes a long time to run from the distant 'rear" of the scene to where the camera is patiently waiting. The light verses dark lighting suggests various solutions. For example, the bright lighting represents hope and confidence that they will make it out alive while the dark lighting suggest the death of the lovers.

Scene 22

Scene 25

Scene 9

In these photos are the shots of Rose feeling helpless and lost after she realizes that no one’s there to help her. Loneliness is used to symbolize that she’s isolated and not in the companion of others. In the other shot is a point of view shot to show what Rose is looking at.

In this medium wide angle shot shows Caledon anger for Jack and Rose's relationship. Rose is Caledon’s fiancée and she’s constantly with Jack which makes him feel betrayed. After Rose decided to jump off the boat to be with Jack, it made Caledon very angry. She says, "You jump, I jump" to Jack and kiss him while Caledon was watching from above. This act causes him to take Spicer Lovejoys’ gun and try to shoot Jack and Rose so they could not be with each other. A dull yellow filter is also used in this photo which is constantly being used in various scenes of the film to express jealousy, caution, decay, and sickness in many situations.

Scene 27

In this picture, Rose is having difficulties accepting the way Caledon wants her to be. She sees herself as something she’s not and uses her reflection to emphasize that a drastic change is about to occur. It's also used to reflect the truth about her emotions and how she sees herself in society. In this scene, mirrors function to give off a true picture of her. It also shows how reality can impact the way you see yourself.

These series of paintings emphasize dramatic irony and is used to differentiate the relationship between Rose and her fiancée Caledon. Rose personality shows that she is in-love with beautiful things and surrounds herself with paintings to make her happy. The artwork that is used creates an interest for Jack since he's an artist as well.

These photos represent the difference between high class and low class individuals. In the photos above, the low class individuals are drinking, dancing, and having a great time while the high classes are in uniform, smoking, and talking about their future. This symbolizes that the low class are more appreciative and active in society verses the high class who are having repetitive conversations about their everyday lives. Another example of the class difference is when Titanic began to sink. The low class individuals were trapped behind a locked gate and was not allowed out until the high class individuals where safely rescued on lifeboats. The crew also threatens to kill passengers with guns because there priority was boarding first class passengers first.

Scene 15

Scene 4

This shot symbolizes how she has set herself free and is following her heart to make herself happy. Her hair is untied, she's smiling, and her clothes are different which shows how she’s slowly being confined by her normal class. The red rose in the background represents determination as well as passion, desire, and lust. She is not happy with her fiancée but once Jack appears they become deeply in love.

This photo is a medium shot, high angle that shows the shift between high-class individuals and low class. Ruth (Frances Fisher), Caledon Hockey (Billy Zane), and Rose (Kate Winslet) are shown as dominate figures that make them become superior to those who are behind them. The lighting is high key due to its bright illumination and it’s a wide angle to keep the characters in focus. The photos on the bottom represents the under class who do not have the same privileges. Before boarding, the health inspection had to check for diseases, lice and other infectious infections to make sure they wouldn't harm others throughout the ship.

This medium shot shows that Rose cannot do everything she pleases without being obligated to act as a high class woman. The treatment she gets from her mother, Ruth, makes her feel as though she is helpless and lost. Her mother controls her life by telling her what to do or how wealthy woman must behave. Due to the death of Ruth's husband, they were left with nothing and as result; she forces Rose to marry Caledon to maintain their high class reputation. Ruth wants to make sure that Rose marries Caledon but this pressure causes Rose to go into a breaking point.
