opening scene of Titanic






Sound - There is non-diegetic sound when the film starts playing as there is a piano or another instrument playing while images from the film are flashing up on the screen. There is backing vocals  that is playing is being sung by a female. Her voice is soft and gentle showing delicacy and innocence when she is singing, which is the same song that is being sung throughout the film in other scenes such as the end when the film is finishing. At the point of 1:02, there is the noise of a submarine under water that interrupts the backing vocals that is being sung by the women but the music continues to play. At the point of 1:09 the music stops and has a slight break and then it carries on again. The music then tailors off to silence.




Characters - There are no characters being shown in the opening scene. This is done because the writer of the film, James Cameron, did not want the target audience to be distracted by the message that he is trying to give out.




Audience - The target audience for this film could be more encouraged for women because the film is based on love and emotion which is stereotypically what women are into, whereas men are known for the action based films. The target audience could also be people that are fans of the characters. However, who watches it could depend on whether the person is interested in the real titanic or whether the person is more interested in the romance side of the film.


Characters - There were no actual characters in the film to represent but there was lots of people in the image at the start of the film that are all involved throughout the film. However, the two main characters throughout the film are Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Usually in a romance film they put a good looking male character and a really pretty female character together to be the ones to fall in love. This is done to make people think that it is always a happy ever after when there is true love involved.
