DENOTATION & CONNOTATION

• THERE IS A BIG BOAT WITH YOUNG COUPLE ABOVE IT.

• THERE IS DARK COLOURS AND LIGHT COLOURS AT THE TOP.

• YOU SEE THE ACTOR’S NAMES ABOVE THE PICTURES OF THEM

• THERE IS WATER SPLASHING AGAINST THE BOAT

• 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.

CONNOTATION:

•WRITTEN ACROSS THE POSTER IS NOTEBOOK IN BOLD.

•YOU SEE THE ACTOR’S NAMES UNDERNEATH THE PICTURES OF THEM

•DIFFERENT SHADES OF DARK AND LIGHT BLUE COLOUR

• A YOUNG COUPLE.

The words “behind every great love is a great story” implies that we need faith to hold onto love. Love is still out there and to get great love is to be patient and kind.

WHO IS TARGET AUDIENCE? HOW DOES THE SCENE CATER TO THAT SPECIFIC AUDIENCE?

It caters to the women audience because they show passionate, heavy emotion and contain

themes that are relationship-based.

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.

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.

Both of the movies shows: •Death/ Tragedy•Dramatic •Depressing•Intensity•Romance

• 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.

Characters

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 tragedy. 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.

It inspires me to change the music in my opening scene depending on the

scene 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 wears.

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.
