Titanic

Titanic (1997)
This film is set a very long time ago, we can tell this by the very old traditional clothes being worn and by the old technology, camera. The music is very calming and relaxing which is typical of a romance film however it may be also be the calm music before the storm suggesting to the audience that this is going to be drama. The scene starts with people saying goodbye to their loved ones which is very emotional and maybe even relatable for some people. Many long shots are used throughout this to highlight how many people are getting on the boat and how exciting this is for everyone. This is followed by a mid-shot of people, showing their body language and facial expressions, they all looked very honoured to be a part of this part of history. After this we fade out into a picture of the sea making it obvious that these people are going on a cruise and the sea will pay a huge part in this film. Although the music could be interpreted as calming it may also be quite sinister and entrancing, connoting death and distress. This is filmed in the dark so when you see the lights of the boat it may be simile for the lights at the end of the tunnel that people imagine to see when they are dying.
