FILM NOTES

Titanic was released by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox in December 1997, directed by James Cameron. The production became one of the most expensive films ever made at the time and went on to win eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It reshaped the scale of Hollywood blockbusters and remains a landmark of late-twentieth-century cinema.

This cell, titled Opening Credits - DiCaprio, captures a frame from the film's opening title sequence, presenting the name Leonardo DiCaprio as a white title card set against a plain black background. It is a quiet, typographic moment from one of the most widely seen films of its era, preserving the formal announcement of a performer whose career the film would help define.
