For the filming of the film, a brand new studio was built on the Rosarito coast in Mexico, just 40 kilometers south of the state border with the United States. An almost life-size model of the ship was built in the waters of the huge pool. The final model of the created ship reached 231 meters in length, while the real liner was 34 meters longer (264 meters). Despite the grandiose scale of the set, the number of repetitive ship components (such as windows) has been reduced, and some details have been modeled by only 90%. Also during the filming process, instead of helicopters, it was decided to use a 50-meter crane placed on the rails. All this was done in order to reduce overhead costs.

“After I saw the wreckage of the present” Titanic“, It became clear to me that I have no right to cheat in anything. When the Russians and I finished shooting underwater, I asked everyone to gather on the deck. Before that, we filmed all night and all day, more than 17 hours. The people were extremely exhausted, but everyone gathered at the bow of the ship, and we launched a wreath on which we wrote: „In memory of passengers and crew of the Titanic“ ... Our film is a cinematic wreath for these people. " - James Cameron about the filming of the film.

About actors and characters

As you know, the role of Jack Dawson was played by Leonardo DiCaprio, but at one time several famous actors claimed this place:
- Matthew McConaughey- his candidacy was proposed very first, therefore it was he who, according to the original plan, should have been in the film. But later, James Cameron himself insisted on Leonardo DiCaprio.

Christian Bale- James Cameron didn't want two British actors to play two Americans.

Macaulay Culkin(actor who performed the main roles in the films "Home Alone" and "Home Alone 2")

It is also known that the role of Rosa Dewitt Bukater was played by Kate Winslet, but at one time the actress claimed this place GwynethPeltrow

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio agreed to take part in the film before the final script was released, based only on a 165-page sketch James Cameron.

Gloria Stewart depicted an aged Rose, whose age according to the script was 101 years old, although in fact the actress was only 86 years old. And according to her assurances, there was nothing pleasant about it.

Rose utters the standard phrase for lovers "I love you" only once, when she and Jack were already in the water - at the very end of the film. Jack himself does not say this phrase even once for the entire film, although he briefly mentioned his love for her.

Kate Winslet was one of the few actors who did not want to wear a wetsuit when filming water scenes.
Kate Winslet got pneumonia when she participated in the shooting of the scenes of the sinking of the Titanic.

Rose's character is based in part on a California actress Beatrice Wood who died in 1998 at the age of 105.

Gloria Stewart, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, became the oldest person to be nominated for Oscar". She was then 87 years old.
Gloria Stewart was the only one among all who took part in the filming, who lived during the real disaster of "Titanic" in 1912.
His name is Caledon Hockley (character Billy Zane, Rose's groom) received from two small towns ( Caledon and Hockley), located in Ontario, Canada, where aunt and uncle live James Cameron.

Initially, it was planned to give the role Michael Bean.

When James Cameron wrote the script for the film, he believed that the main characters Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater should be fictional characters. Only after work on the script was completed did the director learn that there was a passenger on board the Titanic. J. Dawson". Joseph Dawson was born in Dublin in 1888. His body was buried in Nova Scotia along with the rest of the dead. Today his grave (No. 227) is the most visited in the cemetery.

While dissuading Rose from jumping off the ship, Jack tells her that the sensation of being thrown into icy water is comparable to the sensation of "a thousand knives stabbing your body." This is clearly a quote from a flashback Charles Lightoller working for " Titanic”, Who had been in this icy water on the night of the crash and miraculously escaped death from being sucked into one of the corridors of the sinking ship.

The scene in which Rose thanks Jack for saving her life is a complete improvisation by the actors.

About the film and its filming

When filming the last scene of the ship's immersion in the ocean, about 120 tons of water was used.

Upon completion of filming, a full-size model “ Titanic”Was taken apart and sold for scrap.
James Cameron lost his $ 8 million royalties and his percentage of the total box office when the producers learned that the film's planned budget was severely exceeded.
The drawing depicting the Rose was made by himself James Cameron, it is his hands that we see in the frame. All other drawings in Jack's album are also the work of the director. But due to the fact that James Cameron left-handed, during editing, the footage was mirrored inverted.

The deep-sea footage, which was included in the final version of the film, is only 12 minutes long. Although, in fact, each dive to the depth took several hours. In order to improve the efficiency of resource use and reduce costs James Cameron ordered to prepare a model of the remains " Titanic", Reduced by 33 times. Each real dive was rehearsed using this model and models of Russian bathyscaphes, which in the end was not in vain.

There were 12 dives in total. With the last two, the picture was remotely transmitted by a special device installed inside the remains " Titanic". Moreover, some of the frames were simulated on a computer.
Most of the decorations on the ship - from carpets to chandeliers - have been remodeled or overseen by the companies that once equipped the real " Titanic". When reconstructing the scenery, decorative elements with " Olympica"- twin brother" Titanic», Decommissioned in 1935. After the write-off, many finishing elements " Olympica"Found a second life in the creation of hotel interiors" White Swan" in England. The hotel owners have kindly provided filmmakers with the opportunity to measure and photograph these curiosities. Also when recreating interiors “ Titanic"Archival photographs of interiors were used" Olympica».

Shooting general plans " Titanic"On the high seas were produced using a 45-foot model" Titanic”, Which was filmed with a small digital camera. Then in the studio Digital domain smoke from pipes and water were added on the computer. To achieve plausibility, an algorithm was used to detect ships and submarines from water vibrations from the satellite. This algorithm took into account the behavior of the ocean water surface in a calm state and during the movement of foreign objects. And finally, Digital Domain computer graphics masters populated “ Titanic»Characters created on the computer. On one of the plans, you can even see the computer captain Smith, adjusting his cap.

Before starting to draw the Rose in his sketchbook, Jack tells her: "Over there, on the bed, mmm ... on the sofa." In fact, the phrase “Lie on the sofa” was supposed to be here. It happened when on the set Leonardo DiCaprio slightly confused the text of the script. But Cameron I liked this reservation, and it was this take that was included in the final version of the film.

The scene for drawing a portrait of Rosa was filmed on the first day of shooting. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio... After filming Leo asked Cameron: "Well, how did I do it?" To which the director replied in all seriousness: "Well, you know, today is your first day of shooting, so you can still be replaced."
The pictures used in the filming of the film are originals. One of these paintings was the work Pablo picasso « old guitar player»1903, kindly provided for filming by the Paris Art Museum.

When one of the ship's managers says "Full speed ahead!" We hear someone picking up "Full speed ahead!" on the background. In fact, it was the director's voice. James Cameron.
In real life, there was concern that the davits were not strong enough to withstand the launch of fully loaded lifeboats, even though they were tested under that weight. The davits for the film, which can be seen flexing under heavy weight, were made by the same company as in 1912 for the present " Titanic».

It was planned to use 40,000 gallons of water to shoot the scene where water enters the interior of the ship for the first time. However, as it turned out later, this was not enough, and Cameron asked to increase the amount of water 3 times. At the same time, it was necessary to redo some of the decorations, which could not withstand the additional weight.

Cameron was categorically against the use of any songs in the film, even in the closing credits. Composer James Horner together with Will Jennings(lyricist) and singer Celine Dion recorded the song “ My heart will go on". Later, the cassette was given to listen James Cameron... As a result, the song was awarded the prize " Oscar».

Filming the sailing " Titanic"In the port of Southampton were produced" in a mirror image ": due to economy, the model" Titanic»Life-size was covered with metal only on the starboard side (the weather forecast predicted a north wind, so it was decided to put the model with its bow to the north, so that the wind would carry the smoke from the chimneys to the stern, and this would create an additional illusion of the vessel's movement). However, in Southampton the real " Titanic"Was moored to the port side, and in order not to sin against history, James Cameron decided to shoot "the other way around". For this, some of the equipment, props, and costumes were ordered upside down. Later, when editing the footage, the image was "turned over" so that everything was correct. Kate Winslet in one of the interviews she admitted that during the filming of landing on the liner she could not help laughing when she read “ ENIL RATS ETIHW"On the sailors' caps.

The model " Titanic The life-size nose was missing. It was added every time on the computer. When James Cameron saw how much these special effects cost, he exclaimed: "We'd better have built it!"
In order to film the scene of the sinking of the front of the ship, it was necessary to disassemble the constructed model in full size and place its front end in a tank 40 feet deep. The set was lifted and lowered into the water by 8 hydraulic jacks. The episode was filmed without rehearsal.

During the filming of the collision scene " Titanic»With an iceberg behind the deck on which there were Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, put green screen, which was then replaced during editing with a computer image (model) of an iceberg. But in order to make the scene look more realistic, pieces of real ice were poured onto the deck from above. Thus, the pieces of ice breakaway from the iceberg that fell overboard are computer-generated, and that came on board are real.

The effect of frozen ice on passengers' clothes and hair " Titanic"Caught in the water, was achieved by the fact that their hair and clothes were covered with wax, as well as a special powder, which turned into crystals upon contact with water. And the steam from the mouth was added on the computer.
James Cameron deliberately went to the admission of historical inaccuracy when filming scenes in lifeboats. Night on April 15, 1912 was moonless, the stars gave too little light, and the director had to somehow illuminate the scenery. That's why Cameron gave into the hands of some officers electric flashlights, which, alas, were not present in the real officers in 1912.

When staging special effects Robert Skotak used techniques invented by a Soviet filmmaker Pavel Klushantsev... In 1997, the film was awarded the " Oscar"For the best special effects.

Kate Winslet in the movie Titanic
More than 20 years have passed since the release of "Titanic", but interest in the film still does not subside. The heroes and the audience empathize with all the three hours that this picture is going on, and probably everyone cried at the tragic ending of their novel at least once.

Today the site tells how one of the most famous scenes from the legendary film by James Cameron was filmed - how Jack drew a nude Rose.

The dramatic script and convincing acting made everyone believe that Kate and Leo's romance happened not only on the screen, but also in real life. However, this is not so: in reality, their relationship is the most tender, but exclusively in.

A friendly relationship between the actors began on the set: before "Titanic" Leo and Kate did not know each other at all. They met live directly on the shooting itself. Both were very worried because they had heard about each other's acting talent: the young DiCaprio, getting this role, bypassed Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise, and Winslet - Gwyneth Paltrow. Both were very young: at the time filming began in 1996, Leo was 22 years old, and Kate was only 21.

I was so worried before filming, I heard so much about his acting talent! I thought: "How cool it will be to play with the best actor of the young generation!"

- later the actress admitted in an interview.

Shot from the movie "Titanic"

The directorial talent of James Cameron is multifaceted: he managed not only to masterfully recreate the atmosphere of the sunken ship and immerse the crew members and film viewers in it, but also to fully reveal the acting talent of Winslet and DiCaprio. So, a drawing scene of Winslet's nude heroine, Rose, was filmed on the first day of shooting. It is clear why this was done: the director needed sincere emotions and real embarrassment, which only unfamiliar people could give out. Exactly such were at that time Kate and Leo.

However, Winslet outwitted Cameron a little and decided to do it her own way: right after they met, realizing what the first scene in their first film together would be like, she just showed her breasts to Leo:

So as not to be shy

- she said.

In the film, this scene is preceded by the story of Jack, the hero of DiCaprio, about how he was in Paris and painted all kinds of women there. One of them attracted the keen attention of the artist himself: this woman turned out to be a one-legged prostitute. It was the admiration with which Jack spoke about her freedom-loving lifestyle that inspired Rose to take a bold step:

Draw me like those French women

- she says to him, throwing off the translucent robe.

Interestingly, according to the script, it was planned that Jack would tell her "Lie down on the sofa", but DiCaprio made a reservation: "Over there, on the bed ... uh ... on the sofa!" He says. Cameron liked the slip so much that he decided to include it in the final cut.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a great actor, but a bad artist. He couldn't draw Kate himself. The same Cameron helped him to solve this problem: in the close-ups in the film we see exactly his hand, not Leo's. But here, too, there was a difficulty: DiCaprio is right-handed, and Cameron is left-handed, so they had to be mirrored.

And although "Titanic" is famous for unprecedented factual accuracy, a rather large movie blooper is associated with this drawing. The film, as we remember, begins with modern shots - the raising of a safe from a sunken ship to the surface of the water, in which a leather folder with Jack's drawing is supposedly preserved. Impossible: no paper can withstand nearly a century of saltwater testing. The drawing simply could not survive to our times.

After the first day of shooting, DiCaprio approached Cameron and asked if he coped with his role, and if the director liked everything. He answered this question very seriously:

Well, you know, today is your first day of shooting. So you can also be replaced,

He replied.

It is unlikely, of course, that he planned to change Leo: Cameron, like no one else, felt that the young American with Italian roots was the perfect embodiment of the image of the broken artist Jack. The bet on the young actor turned out to be very successful, providing huge box office and super popularity. Until 2009, when Cameron's other film, Avatar, was released, Titanic's $ 2 billion grossing record was unsinkable.

And that drawing, by the way, was sold for 16 thousand dollars in 2014. All the proceeds were donated to charity.

The history of the Titanic is known all over the world. The ship, which everyone considered unsinkable, stumbled on an iceberg and sank in the spring of 1912. There were many people on board, celebrities, luxurious furniture, valuables. A lot of films have been filmed and many articles have been written about this technically magnificent sea vessel of enormous size.

How to draw "Titanic" in stages? It's not difficult at all. First, we will prepare the necessary accessories.

Tools and materials

We need:

A simple pencil.
Paper.
Eraser.

Such is the simple set of accessories that you probably have at home. Now let's move on to drawing.

How to draw "Titanic": basic elements

Sketch the outlines of the ship along the entire length of the sheet of paper in general lines. To do this, draw a line along the bottom of the sheet. The line should slope slightly to the right. Draw a rectangle. It will be the hull for our ship. The rectangle on the left should be narrower than on the right.
Step back a little from the top of the rectangle and draw a line parallel to the base rectangle. This will be the deck of the ship. Divide the main part of the vessel with a line vertically into two parts.
Above the rectangle on the left, you need to draw two parallel lines oblique upward. When the lines intersect with the vertical stripe, turn the pencil and draw the lines with a downward slope. They must hit the ship. We now have the corner of the upper decks.
The blank for our ship is ready.

How to draw "Titanic": additional elements

Let's draw the pipes for the Titanic. There will be four of them. Three will be to the left of and one to the right. We draw the pipe closest to us as the largest; those farther from us are smaller. The pipes, like the rest of the ship, should be slightly tilted.
Now the turn of the masts has come. The masts will be marked with vertical stripes. They should come out significantly taller than the pipes. We paint on a rope mesh in the shape of a triangle to the masts. Divide the triangle into small squares with neat strokes.
Let's draw the windows for the cabins.
Color the bottom of the ship and the top of the pipes with a dark color, or just shade it with a pencil. When hatching the pipes, leave a small white vertical stripe to make it appear that light is reflected in them.
Light the decks and cabins.
Add water to the bottom of the drawing: make a flat gray surface on which draw ripples with short strokes.
Add small details as you wish. Our Titanic is ready.

Now, thanks to these instructions, you know how to draw Titanic. Train and you will definitely succeed.

When one of the ship's managers says "Full speed ahead!" We hear someone picking up "Full speed ahead!" on the background. In fact, it was the director's voice. James Cameron.
In real life, there was concern that the davits were not strong enough to withstand the launch of fully loaded lifeboats, even though they were tested under that weight. The davits for the film, which can be seen flexing under heavy weight, were made by the same company as in 1912 for the present " Titanic».

It was planned to use 40,000 gallons of water to shoot the scene where water enters the interior of the ship for the first time. However, as it turned out later, this was not enough, and Cameron asked to increase the amount of water 3 times. At the same time, it was necessary to redo some of the decorations, which could not withstand the additional weight.

Cameron was categorically against the use of any songs in the film, even in the closing credits. Composer James Horner together with Will Jennings(lyricist) and singer Celine Dion recorded the song “ My heart will go on". Later, the cassette was given to listen James Cameron... As a result, the song was awarded the prize " Oscar».

Filming the sailing " Titanic"In the port of Southampton were produced" in a mirror image ": due to economy, the model" Titanic»Life-size was covered with metal only on the starboard side (the weather forecast predicted a north wind, so it was decided to put the model with its bow to the north, so that the wind would carry the smoke from the chimneys to the stern, and this would create an additional illusion of the vessel's movement). However, in Southampton the real " Titanic"Was moored to the port side, and in order not to sin against history, James Cameron decided to shoot "the other way around". For this, some of the equipment, props, and costumes were ordered upside down. Later, when editing the footage, the image was "turned over" so that everything was correct. Kate Winslet in one of the interviews she admitted that during the filming of landing on the liner she could not help laughing when she read “ ENIL RATS ETIHW"On the sailors' caps.

The model " Titanic The life-size nose was missing. It was added every time on the computer. When James Cameron saw how much these special effects cost, he exclaimed: "We'd better have built it!"
In order to film the scene of the sinking of the front of the ship, it was necessary to disassemble the constructed model in full size and place its front end in a tank 40 feet deep. The set was lifted and lowered into the water by 8 hydraulic jacks. The episode was filmed without rehearsal.

During the filming of the collision scene " Titanic»With an iceberg behind the deck on which there were Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, put green screen, which was then replaced during editing with a computer image (model) of an iceberg. But in order to make the scene look more realistic, pieces of real ice were poured onto the deck from above. Thus, the pieces of ice breakaway from the iceberg that fell overboard are computer-generated, and that came on board are real.

The effect of frozen ice on passengers' clothes and hair " Titanic"Caught in the water, was achieved by the fact that their hair and clothes were covered with wax, as well as a special powder, which turned into crystals upon contact with water. And the steam from the mouth was added on the computer.
James Cameron deliberately went to the admission of historical inaccuracy when filming scenes in lifeboats. Night on April 15, 1912 was moonless, the stars gave too little light, and the director had to somehow illuminate the scenery. That's why Cameron gave into the hands of some officers electric flashlights, which, alas, were not present in the real officers in 1912.

When staging special effects Robert Skotak used techniques invented by a Soviet filmmaker Pavel Klushantsev... In 1997, the film was awarded the " Oscar"For the best special effects.

The film shows that the officer Murdoch took money for the right to get into the boat, shot two passengers, and then shot himself. All this is not true.
