FILM NOTES

Titanic was produced by Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox and released in December 1997. Directed by James Cameron, it became the highest-grossing film of its time and won eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The production was a landmark in practical and digital filmmaking, and the film's cultural reach extended far beyond the cinema, cementing its place as one of the defining works of the decade.

This cell captures the Jack Sketching Rose sequence, presenting three successive frames from a close-up of Jack Dawson's hand moving a pencil across paper as a portrait takes shape. Leonardo DiCaprio's hand is the sole subject across all three frames, documenting a quiet, intimate moment that remains one of the film's most recognized scenes.
