Kate Winslet earned pneumonia when involved in filming scenes of the death of "Titanic».
Rose character is partly based on the Californian actress Beatrice Wood, who died in 1998 at the age of 105 years. It is curious that one woman out of the water after the sinking of the Titanic, also called Rose (Rosa Abbott). Biography of this woman had nothing to do with the history of the Rose-screen, but it also saved because it caught on drifting "Raft».

His body was buried in Nova Scotia, along with other victims.
Rose discouraging the intention to jump off the ship, Jack tells her that feeling when released into the ice water is comparable to the feeling "when thousands of knives are stuck in your body." This is clearly a quote from the memoirs of Charles Lightoller, who had visited the night of the crash in the icy water, and narrowly escaped death from the ingestion of one of the corridors of the ship sinking.

Deep frames that are included in the final version of the film, make up for the duration of 12 minutes. But in fact every dive to a depth takes several hours. In order to improve resource efficiency and reduce costs, James Cameron has ordered to prepare mock-up of the remains of the "Titanic", reduced 33 times. Each dive was rehearsed currently using this model and models of Russian bathyscaphe, which ultimately was not in vain.
There were performed 12 dives. During the past two remote image transmitted by a special device installed inside the remains of the "Titanic". And some of the shots were simulated on a computer.
Most of the decorations on the ship - from carpet to chandelier - was reconstructed or is under the supervision of the companies, which once fitted with a real "Titanic." When reconstructing sets of sample were taken decorative elements with "Olympic" - twin brother of "Titanic", decommissioned in 1935. After the cancellation of many elements of decoration "Olympic" we have found a second life in the creation of the interiors of the hotel "White Swan" in England. The owners kindly given filmmakers the ability to measure and photograph these curiosities. Also, when recreating the interiors of "Titanic" were used archival photos Interior "Olympic».
Filming overall plans "Titanic" on the high seas produced by a 45-foot (approximately 13, 7 meters) model of "Titanic," which filmed a small digital camera. Then on the studio computer Domain Digital added smoke pipes and water. To achieve credibility, detection algorithm was used by satellite ships and submarines for water fluctuations. This algorithm takes into account the behavior of the water surface of the ocean at rest and during movement of foreign objects. Finally, the master computer graphics Digital Domain inhabited by "Titanic" a character created on a computer. One of the plans can be seen even computer Captain Smith straightens his cap. James Cameron giving instructions to employees Digital Domain said: "Imagine that we shoot a promotional video for" White Star Line "».
Before you start drawing Roses in his album, Jack tells her: "Over there, on the bed, um ... on the couch." In fact, there should be the phrase "Lie down on the couch." It happened when Leonardo DiCaprio on the set a little messed up the text of the script. But Cameron liked this clause, and it is this double entered in the final version of the film.
Scene painting a portrait of Rosa starred in the first day of shooting, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. After shooting Leo asked Cameron: "Well I got?" To which the director is quite seriously replied: "Well, you know, today is your first day of shooting, so that you can be more completely and replace».
When one of the managers of the ship says "Full speed ahead!", We hear someone picks up the "Full speed ahead!" In the background. In fact, it was the voice of director James Cameron.
In real life, there was concern over the fact that the davits are strong enough to withstand the descent fully loaded lifeboats, even though they were tested under this weight. Davits for the film, which can be seen to bend under the heavy weight, were manufactured by the same company that in 1912 for the present "Titanic».
To shoot the scene where the water penetrates into the first ship was planned to use 40,000 gallons of water. However, as it turned out, this was not enough, and Cameron has asked to increase the amount of water 3 times. This had to redo part of the scenery, not supporting the added weight.
Cameron was totally against the use of any song in the film, even in the closing credits.

Filming departure of "Titanic" in Southampton port made "in the mirror": because of the economy model of "Titanic" a life-size plated only on the starboard side (the weather forecast predicted a north wind, so it was decided to put the model nose to the north, to the wind He attributed the smoke from the chimneys to the stern, and it would create the illusion of additional movement of the vessel). However, Southampton real "Titanic" was moored to port, and not to sin against history, James Cameron decided to shoot "vice versa." For this piece of equipment, props, costumes ordered "overturned". Later, when installing the footage, the image "flipped" so that everything was correct. Kate Winslet in an interview admitted that during the filming of landing on the ship could not help laughing when I read «ENIL RATS ETIHW» sailors on his cap.
The model of "Titanic" a life-size nose was missing. His every time added on the computer. When James Cameron saw how much it cost, these special effects, he exclaimed: "It is better if we built it!»

But to the scene look more realistic on the deck were thrown on top of the ice chunks. Thus, pieces of breakaway iceberg ice that have fallen behind - the computer, and that came on board - real.
Namёrzshego effect of ice on the clothing and hair of passengers of "Titanic", trapped in the water is achieved by their hair and clothes were covered with wax and a special powder, which on contact with water turned into crystals. A couple of his mouth was added on the computer.
James Cameron deliberately went to the assumption of the historical inaccuracies while filming episodes in lifeboats. Night on April 15, 1912 was moonless, the stars gave too little light, and the director had any way to illuminate the scenery. So Cameron gave up some officers flashlights, which, alas, did not have these officers in 1912.
In numerous interviews James Cameron spoke of their fears and anxieties studio, the film does not pay off and become unprofitable. In particular, he said in an interview with USA Today: «Well, think for yourself, the events occurred in 1912, the film went more than three hours, after all die - how such a film could be successful?».
