Titanic : the Mystery of the Unsinkable Ship Through ISAN Titanic : the mystery of the unsinkable ship through ISAN The sinking of the RMS Titanic which occurred on the night of 14th April through 15th April, 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean has always been a source of in- spiration for the audiovisual world. Many feature films, TV movies, series, documentaries and even cartoons on Titanic, produced all over the world through decades, have tried to tell the story about the sinking, trying to find out what really happened during that tragic night of April 1912. Many works have just been inspired from it: on the scenario of the sinking they have told an imaginary story, mixing in that way the real story with fantasy. http://www.titanicmovie.com James Cameron’s Titanic (ISAN 0000-0000-3EB5-0000-Q-0000-0000-X ) has touched tens of millions of viewers around the world with its love story with Rose (Kate Winslet). The film broke all records in 1998 and has launched the young Leonardo Di Caprio’s career. It will remain the highest-grossing film of all time worldwide till 2010. The hundredth anniversary of the legendary sinking is the opportunity to commemorate the tragedy in 2012. New productions have recently emerged, such as the 3D version of Cameron’s Titanic, a four hours miniseries “Titanic” directed by Jon Jones or even “Titanic - Blood and Steel” directed by Ciaran Donnelly showing the story of the ship’s construction in Belfast. Presumably the history of the titanic has not yet revealed all its secrets and will remain for many years to come an everlasting topic for scriptwriters and producers.

  • Ghosts of the Abyss. Titanic’S Bow As Seen from Mir II
    A Dive to the titAnic Only a handful of craft can transport people to the deepest ocean realms, and I, as a maritime archaeologist, have been fortunate enough to dive in several of these deep submergence vehicles, also known as submersibles. My most exciting dive was to the wreck of the Titanic, which lies two and a half miles beneath the surface. The grand ocean liner sank in the early morning of April 15, 1912, after striking an iceberg, with a loss of more than 1,500 lives. In the fall of 2001, I was invited to take part in a Titanic expedition headed by James Cameron, director of the 1997 film Titanic. The goal of the expedition was to film the vessel’s remains using deep submersibles on which were mounted powerful lights and a unique high-definition 3D video camera. Cameron then produced a 3D IMAX documentary film, Ghosts of the Abyss.

It is equipped with two submersibles, I Mir I and Mir II, both capable of descending 20,000 feet. The Mirs are 26 feet long, weigh more than 18 tons, and can carry three people—a pilot and two scientists or observers. I am participating in this expedition as a representative of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

  • Avatar Study Notes
    Avatar Study Notes Directed by: James Cameron Certificate: 12 Running time: 156 mins Release date: 18 December 2009 Synopsis The most successful film of all time, Avatar has smashed box office records across the world and redefined cinema as an experience. The story sees paraplegic soldier Jake Sully given the opportunity to infiltrate the native race of the distant moon Pandora. In order to do this his mind is transported into an alien body, an Avatar. However, once he arrives on the planet and is introduced to its spiritual culture by the beautiful Neytiri, he faces a decision: allow his military unit to decimate the planet in search of renewable sources or stay and defend it with the Na’vi race. www.filmeducation.org 1 ©Film Education 2010. Film Education is not responsible for the content of external sites. Before Viewing: The James Cameron Ethos Many of Cameron’s films concern the military, nuclear weapons and mankind’s role in the future of the planet. His movies feature muscle-bound heroes, big weapons and huge explosions. Conversely, James Cameron has been criticised for having a liberal agenda in his films. View or read synopses of Cameron’s previous films and tick off how many feature the following James Cameron themes: Focus on Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Rambo: First Blood Part 2 (written by Cameron), Aliens, The Abyss, True Lies and Titanic. I Strong female leads I A pessimistic ending I An optimistic ending I Nuclear weapons I Anti-corporate attitudes I A military unit defeated by ‘lesser’ opponents I Romance I Traditional family values I A foreign enemy Now that you have explored Cameron’s filmography, how does Avatar conform to your idea of Cameron’s political and filmic ideology? Avatar has been described by some critics as ‘un-patriotic’ and ‘un-American’, especially in the context of Western Forces’ involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, as Cameron’s film portrays American soldiers as the ‘bad guys’.

Throughout the book, it provides a detailed description of the history of “the Unsinkable Ship,” its design, the eloquence of its stately rooms, its splendor, and the events of the night the ship sank. In addition to the story of the Titanic, the story of its discovery is unveiled and overshadowed by the hour it was found, which was close to the actual sinking time of this vessel. The pictures of its brilliance and its wreckage provide perspective on the events of the Titanic's magnificent birth followed by a tragic demise. This realistic chronicle of events demonstrates the importance of this find and its history. This book is good for English Language Learners because it provides an account of this ship’s story both historically and visually.

  • 1 Lazuli Bunting Manuscript Review History Manuscript
    1 LAZULI BUNTING MANUSCRIPT REVIEW HISTORY MANUSCRIPT (ROUND 1) Abstract One hundred years after its sinking, the Titanic holds many in its thrall. If not quite a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, it continues to captivate consumers worldwide. This paper explores RMS Titanic from a cultural branding perspective, arguing that “the unfathomable brand” can be fruitfully examined through the ambiguous lens of literary criticism. Although brand ambiguity is often regarded as something to be avoided, this article demonstrates that ambiguity is a multi-faceted construct, five aspects of which are discernible in the brand debris field surrounding the totemic vessel. Combining empirical research and archival investigation, the article contends that ambiguity is a strength, rather than a weakness, of iconic brands like Titanic. This document is part of a JCR Manuscript Review History. It should be used for educational purposes only. 2 In my own dreams of the Titanic, I am a disembodied robotic eye, gliding like a wayward star through the adits of its wrecked Atlantean cathedral, or through a porthole oculus, taking account of tilted apses and saloons, wandering their marble stairs and passageways. —Ciaran Carson, The Star Factory Paul Tillich (1952), the eminent theologian, defines maturity as an ability to tolerate ambiguity. If this is correct, then branding probably qualifies as a mature marketing practice. The early certainties of branding, encapsulated in Rosser Reeves’ (1961) USP, are gradually giving way to cultural and critical perspectives that are more oceanic, more polysemic, more amorphous than before (Bengtsson and Ostberg 2006; Beverland 2009; Kates and Goh 2003; Puntoni, Schroeder, and Ritson 2010).
