Titanic, directed by James Cameron, was know for it's romantic story between the poor and the rich.  The film was one of the best of it time grossed nearly 2 billion dollar and immediately won a golden globe afterward.  What made this movie a success was not entirely due to the plot, but also the contained elements, setting, tempo, scope, duration, intensity, and chronology.  These are the elements and aspect of time in a film.  Cameron had not just demonstrated them, but he demonstrated them well.  Varieties of each element were present through out the film but we picked the strongest ones for presentation.
 
Out of the six elements, scope and intensity the dominated elements.  Since the whole movie was shot on the ship, the set was extended to many places for the majority of the events, from the control room to the engine room, the lowest part of the ship.  Intensity was unavoidable because people expected the ship to sink at the end.  Also, turmoil between the love two man share for one woman was also expected.  The intensity in the film varied in different level, from extremely free and happy to life and death situation.  Most intense event lasted for quite long, only a few were a minute or under.  Over all, Titanic is a great example because it has everything a good film should have.  The exaggeration of each elements allows us to see the structure of the film much more clearly.

I did know if we were suppose to pose these two pictures on here or not so i just do it just in case.  I choose Variety and Dominance/focus.  the picture with the yellow line is the dominance one.  no matter where you put your eye in the picture, you will also get draw to the yellow straight line.  The other one is actually the same place as the yellow line.  i stood in the middle of the street for the yellow line.  i went straight and got to the variety picture on the same street.
