In this movie clips, there are lots of Mid shots, bird’s eye view, low angle, close shot or extreme close shot. Because of that audience can see more clearly how big was the Titanic and how the disaster happened. Since the Titanic is a huge and fancy yacht as well as its too big to shot if they use mid shot so that a lot of bird’s eye view and low angle shots been used in this movie and this clip includes a lot of those scenes. Especially at the beginning of this clip, used low angle shot to show there are thousands of people trying to get into this fancy yacht. The low angle shot was like the angle of people stand in front of the entering gate. It could help the audience feel more real and also show the grand of the yacht. There are also many close shots an extremely close shot to show clearly the face expression of passenger, mariner waiters, etc. Some of them are calm and ready to face death, some of them are terrified and running around or screaming as well as mid shots to reveal most of their actions and conversations. The bird’s eye view always comes with to show how the yacht big and fancy and how it broke and fell into the ocean. The background music is fast and tragic. Because of the yacht was broken everyone was running around and screaming, people wanted to find a way to get out of it. Everyone is terrified so the bag ground music is perfectly reflected the emergency situation at that time and how to panic the accident. Moreover, People’s screaming, Mariners’ talking, a worker seeking for help and try to get into the lifeboat, even the breaking of the yacht, every single voice are after the background music. Most of the videos in this clip are dark and blue which blue is also a cool tone can make it looks more hopeless. The editing of this clip is very good. The rhythm between each scene and the background music is very harmonious. It is fast and compact which is really good to play up the tension.
