YOUNG COUPLE ABOVE IT.

LIGHT COLOURS AT THE TOP.
• WRITTEN ACROSS THE POSTER IS TITANIC IN BOLD
LETTERS

CONNOTATION: 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.

4. 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.
5. Both of the movies shows:
•Death/ Tragedy
•Dramatic
•Depressing
•Intensity
•Romance
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
generation.
6. 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.
•He does not waste a moment with anything
he encounters.
•Jack is a stereotypical happy-go-lucky artist
type. He is also a shady character.
7. 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.
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.
8. Music/Mood
•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 tragedy. The
music grows in intensity towards the end where
the story itself intensifies
9. An opening scene of a beautiful sunrise over a lake is shown In the beginning there is a
together with classical sound of a piano to create a romantic sense of expectation
feel of the film, emphasising the genre of romance which is to because they say the
be expected. titanic is the biggest boat
and doesn't sink.
It inspires me to change the music in my opening
scene depending on the scene that the mood is
set in.
10. 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.
12. 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.
13. The camera angles are all incredibly slow
and gentle, giving a more relaxing theme
Inspires me that different angles shows to the film which flow easily with the
movement and gives a relaxing vibe to the sound in the background which both
viewer. together make the viewer much more
relaxed and also gives the romantic feel to
the film.
