• WRITTEN ACROSS THE POSTER IS TITANIC IN BOLD LETTERS
The connotation of the two people hugging is that they are in a loving relationship together.
The words ‘Nothing on earth could come between them’ also suggest that the two people are deeply in love. It’s also ironic because in the end the sea
came between them.

WHO IS TARGET AUDIENCE? HOW DOES THE SCENE CATER TO THAT SPECIFIC AUDIENCE?
Titanic and The Notebook The target audience are mostly based on women since it’s a romance and
love drama. But really the film is a movie for anyone who wants to get lost in a beautiful story, for anyone who believes romance is
still alive on film.
It caters to the women audience because they show passionate, heavy emotion and contain
themes that are relationship-based.
•Both of the movies shows intesity •Romantic
•Death/Tradegy•Dramatic •Depressing
Because the movies are based on real life this inspires me to adopt the genre and use it in
my piece because it appeals to this genereation.
Characters
• Rose is difficult and has nothing in her life to inspire her. She is, therefore, a "flat" character with confused flashes
of intensity and reason.
• Jack is a stereotypical happy-go-lucky artist type. He is also a shady
character.
• He does not waste a moment with anything he encounters.
He is the hero. Noah represents true love and true faith. He has a strong relationship with family and friends and is respectful to both nature and authority. He seemingly has no faults.
She represents the different types of love that exist. Allie grows and matures, so does her understanding of love. Her growth symbolizes the development of real love. Allie is able to develop as an artist, and a character, because of Noah's love for her.
• The music in 'Titanic' sets the mood because its calm and
romantic.
• The main song used in Titanic is 'My heart will go on' by Celine
Dion, the lyrics 'near, far, wherever you are, and I know that my heart
will go on', which suggest that something bad happens in the
future.
• This prepares the audience for tradegy. The music grows in
intensity towards the end where the story itself intensifies
Music/Mood
An opening scene of a beautiful sunrise over a lake is shown together with classical sound of a piano to create a romantic feel of the film, emphasising the genre of romance which is to be expected.
Inspires me to change the music in my opening scence depending on the scence that the mood
is set in.
In the beginning there is a sense of
expectation because they say the titanic is the biggest
boat and doesn't sink.
The use of soft colours hides the characters
flaws, compared to bright light
which reveals flaws.
It inspires me for my opening sequences that good lighting enhances the mood.
The different type of clothes that the rich and poor wear.
They use great close-up to show expression on someone's face. The close-up takes us into the mind of a character.
close up reveals the overflow of all the emotions of relief and of the true and endless love that was forever held close to both of these character's hearts. It focused around the genre of pure
romance and love between two main characters within the story.
The camera angles are all incredibly slow and gentle, giving a more relaxing theme to the film which flow easily with the sound in the background which both together make the viewer much more relaxed and also gives the romantic feel to the film.
Inspires me that different angles
shows movement and gives a relaxing vibe
to the viewer.
