One the best scenes of Titantic after The Sketching Scene...
The diegetic sound of the oceans gushing and roaring creates a scene of reality to their whereabouts and signifies their mutual love for one another as it shows their love is existent.
The sweeping winds at the beginning correspond to Jack’s (Leonardo Dicaprio) facial expression as he seems sad and lonesome, however this alters completely as the non- diegetic sound mellows through as his love interest enters the scene.
The ships jirating through the sea as the scene opens can connote the sexual feelings towards the two protagonists.
The non-diegetic sound heard as Rose (Kate Winslet) enters is the Parallel Sound which accompanies this scene of romantic passion. The soft romantic music seems to be essential to heighten the emotion of the scene and entice the audience into feelings sentimental about their love.
The props used in this scene also entail to the meaning of the movie, such as the clothing, the actual ship it self and also the hair green hairpin that Rose is wearing, which the audience are already familiar with since it was introduced at the beginning of the movie before the flashback of the older Rose. So the young Rose wearing only seems sense and makes the whole narrative seem more real.
The colours of the sky background as the sun is setting connotes passion as the colour purple can imply that and also the sunset is always usually relates with love and being romantic. The orangey- pink colour of the sunset can also connote and signify their love and feelings towards each other, as these colours seem to always have happy and lovey-dovey connotations.
The mise-en-scene in this scene is incredibly necessary to enhance the feeling and emotions of this scene, for example the characters costume seem to play an important part, as it sets the time period to movie, but more closely both characters have lengthy clothing, which can move and ruffle in the wind- (especially the white shawl on Rose) and as the powerful winds go though them this can signify how strong their love is and enhances the overall presence of the scene.
Many camera framing devices are used to intensify the characters feelings, such as the close-up shot which illustrate the characters facial expressions and deliver to the audience the meaning of the characters love for example the close-up shot of both Jack and Rose when he is singing in her ears as there are both smiling and laughing.
Also the Big close up shot focusing of them embracing hands intensifies their feeling towards each other.
As they are holding each other looking into the horizon together a Point of view shot is present which seems to overview the characters feelings and involves the audience- as if their part of the film.
The Crane shot which is apparent when Jack and Rose are ‘Flying’ as the camera angles around the ship and setting of where they are kind of exaggerates their act of love and suggest that they’re the only ones of the ship and nothing can stop them from loving each other not even the ship which can be quite ironic as the narrative leads to the end of the movie.
