Romantic movie-2 minute opening analyse- Coursework Prep

James Cameron's 1997 Titanic has become the all time favourite love story, about a 17 year old aristocrat, Rose, expected to be married to a rich claimant by her mother, falls in love with a kind but poor artist aboard the luxurious R.M.S Titanic, during 1914, on its first and last trip to America.
Director: James Cameron
Main Characters: Leonardo Dicaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Gloria Stuart.

 The opening is a submarine looking at the shipwreck of the Titanic, and the ship turns from what it looked like in 1997 at the bottom of the North Atlantic ocean to 1914 at Portsmouth with happiness and cheer. There is a panning shot of the ship to the crowd emphasising the size of it, and everyone getting ready to board, cars being loaded and suitcases. There's a close up of the crowd, everyone is smiling, its just an overall joyous moment of the ship docking. Then it fades to water, in the night, portraying the fate of the ship, the music starts to fade out and the shots are now underwater of the submarine looking for Titanic evidence. The first main character to be introduced is Rose she steps out of a car with the rest of her family and friends, her clothing is clearing stating how wealthy her family are, they also have a lot of suitcases, a car and are taking first class. The docks are very busy with people of all classes merging together some going on the ship others waving them off. You follow the family as they get on the Titanic, how nice and luxurious first class is. Everyone is amazed with how wonderful it is, Rose is not so much she hasn't smiled yet, showing she isn't happy.

  1. Wow Harriet! This is great, you've clearly been working really hard on this, it's great to see so many posts and to see you incorporating ideas from lessons and independent study. It's also really pleasing that you are using a variety of technical skills such as video clips, scanning and screen shots. Don't forget, you can have 'textless' posts where you do a piece to camera or a filmed interview. Very impressive, keep it up.
