Titanic question?

Question

in the movie titanic is there any pics or video of the real orginal titanic? Also what has been the last time the ship titanic has been looked at underwater?

Answer 1

Ok..First of all..there is video of the ship underwater at the beginning..the video that is played of the ship leaving port with passengers is actually it's sister ship Olympic. The last time the ship was visited was in 2006, when the History Channel did an expedition to find portions of Titanic's double bottom. These two sections have been located and have opened up more theories to how and why the ship broke in two. Also in 2006, James Cameron did a LIVE broadcast from the Titanic, in which several areas of the ship that were never before seen were explored, including the Turkish Baths.

Now, for some corrections. The descent to Titanic is not a 12 hour ride, it is 2 hours. The mini-subs descend at one mile per hour, and Titanic is roughly 2 miles below the surface. The ride up is also two hours.

Answer 3

There are a FEW clips that are true footage from underwater expeditions, but the sequence showing the MIRS and bots exploring Titanic was portrayed by using a scale model and fog machines to create that misty, deep sea look.  They then meshed, or digitally combined their contrived shots with real shots.  The way you can tell which shot is real and which is a model shot is by counting the subs: if there is one sub, it is a real shot, being filmed from the other submarine.  If the shot has two subs in it, it is the model filmed in smoke.  You can actually watch James Cameron film these sequences in the special features of Disc 1 of the Collector's Edition Titanic.  

The shots of the first class hallway leading to the suites and the room of Rose and Cal (where they find the safe) were a complex underwater set built and filmed in Escondido, California.

Also, the opening shots of the movie that look very vintage, with the passengers on the Titanic waving as they depart, are NOT real. These main title pictures were shot using a special camera and edited to portray that grainy, archival footage. And the ship shown IS NOT THE OLYMPIC.  The starboard side of the Titanic was rebuilt and a Southampton set constructed.  They built only the starboard side to save money.  However, historically, Titanic was docked on her port side, so James Cameron had to flip the footage, or mirror-image it.  This of course means that the entire set had to be printed backwards - the White Star Line uniforms had their font running backward, hats flipped, etc.  This can also be found on the special features of the new edition of the movie.

Answer 4

In the beginning of the movie they show real live footage of the ship underwater. The Titanic has been under water for 96 years now, and people still do look at it. People take trips under water to see the Titanic. its a 12 hour ride down in a small sub and about 4 hours back up. Studys show that the Titanic will be totally barried and decomposed in about another 22 years.
