Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography: 1998 — Russell Carpenter, ASC Titanic (1997) Directed by James Cameron Aspect Ratio: 2.39 : 1

Outlining his general lighting approach on the film, Carpenter says, "Early on, Jim [Cameron], production designer Peter Lamont and costume designer Debra Scott made decisions in regard to the period style, but there really aren't any set rules about what kind of lighting is or is not appropriate for a period film. Titanic will bear the stamp of Jim Cameron's very blue night lighting. But there's also a lot of amber in this picture, which is quite a departure. With the warmer tones, we sometimes added a bit of a sepia feeling to some of the light." Carpenter had considered the cinematographic approaches of several other period films, including Howard's End, Heaven's Gate and The Natural. Other influences included paintings by John Singer Sargent and Caravaggio. — American Cinematographer, December 1997

VIOLET JESSOP // STEWARDESS

“She was an Argentine woman of Irish heritage who worked as an ocean liner stewardess and nurse in the early 20th century. She is most well known for having survived the sinking of both the RMS Titanic in 1912 and her sister ship the HMHS Britannic in 1916, as well as having been onboard the eldest of the three sister ships, the RMS Olympic, when it collided with the British warship HMS Hawke in 1911.”

I like to browse around on the Library of Congress: Chronicling America site and just search for random history stuff. I have recently been listening to a podcast about the Titantic so I did some searching on that. It's wild seeing the initial adverts and minor little blurbs about the ship before it set sail. It's also totally wild to sort of experience the timeline through old newspaper scans, because at first it's just some little charming articles about how many first class passengers are there, and the schedule for upcoming departures from New York, then there was some sort of disruption at the port on the first day, then the iceburg got struck and the news reports are genuinely bizarre to read because everyone thought everything was ok?? The reports from the morning after are all about how everyone was miraculously saved and aboard another ship and the damaged Titanic was being towed to New York, but then the evening papers are about how it's odd there has been no news about the "survivors", then the following day the actual reports start trickling in, but some newspapers are still reporting that everyone is safe and sound. Then it's just a flood of reality hitting the front page. Here are some clippings from before the maiden voyage, I'll probably post some of the others in a bit, as I saved them for whatever reason and I may as well post them instead of the jpegs rotting on my computer lol

"C.Q.D. Help! Help! We are sinking." The RMS Titanic sank in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four days into her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City 14th-15th April 1912

At 11:40 pm on 14 April, lookout Frederick Fleet spotted an iceberg immediately ahead of Titanic and alerted the bridge. First Officer William Murdoch ordered the ship to be steered around the obstacle and the engines to be reversed, but it was too late; the starboard side of Titanic struck the iceberg, creating a series of holes below the waterline.

The hull was not punctured by the iceberg, but rather dented such that the hull's seams buckled and separated, allowing water to rush in. Five of the ship's watertight compartments were breached. It soon became clear that the ship was doomed, as she could not survive more than four compartments being flooded.

Titanic began sinking bow-first, with water spilling from compartment to compartment as her angle in the water became steeper. Between 2:10 and 2:15 a.m., a little over two and a half hours after Titanic struck the iceberg, her rate of sinking suddenly increased as the boat deck dipped underwater, and the sea poured in through open hatches and grates. As her unsupported stern rose out of the water, exposing the propellers, the ship broke in two main pieces between the second and third funnels, due to the immense forces on the keel. With the bow underwater, and air trapped in the stern, the stern remained afloat and buoyant for a few minutes longer, rising to a nearly vertical angle with hundreds of people still clinging to it, before foundering at 2:20 am.
