What film techniques were successful in making titanic popular?
I don't know. Personally, it sucked for me.
Yes.
We humans need stories like we need air. You can imagine strangers sitting in a film house watching a story being told, and liken it to human history that began with people sitting around a fire listening to stories.
Cinema is a universal medium for communicating, since it's a visual medium. There is no language barrier for laughter or tears and all the emotions in between.
Realism has become one of the most contested terms in the history of cinema. Cinematic realism is neither a genre nor a movement, and it has neither rigid formal criteria nor specific subject matter. Probably not, as realism has been an extremely useful concept for asking questions about the nature of cinematographic images, the relation of film to reality, the credibility of images, and the role cinema plays in the organization and understanding of the world. Realism, at the very least, has been a productive illusion.
In film history, realism has designated two distinct modes of filmmaking and two approaches to the cinematographic image. In the first instance, cinematic realism refers to the verisimilitude of a film to the believability of its characters and events. This realism is most evident in the classical Hollywood cinema. The second instance of cinematic realism takes as its starting point the camera's mechanical reproduction of reality, and often ends up challenging the rules of Hollywood movie making.
How much money do production sound mixers make?
The amount of pay a Production Sound Mixer makes varies greatly depending on experience, type of movie, location, difficultly of project, movie's budget, etc.
A Production Sound Mixer can earn anywhere from $250.00 (U.S.) a day up to $600.00 a day or more for his fee. Add to that the fee he or she gets for the rental of his gear and it can go way up for a film commercial or high end digital commercial. Reality television mixers tend to make less than that.
Movies tend to also pay lower because you are getting three weeks to a year of work on the same project, so your daily rate is lower plus you give the production company a one or two day "week" rental on the gear, or settle on a package rate for the entire movie.
What are the three phases of film making?
If this is an academic question -- sorry, we can't do your homework for you.
In the industry, the answer will always be: talent, talent and more talent.
Why did they decide to build the titanic?
The iconic British ship was built to transport significant number of passengers across the Atlantic, being the largest cruise liner in the world when it was launched. It also carried mail and some small cargo, but it was primarily designed to carry people in relative comfort across the ocean. In 1912, air travel was still in its infancy and not very comfortable, or even safe.
In business terms, the Titanic was built by the White Star Line to compete with the rival Cunard Line's newest ships, the Mauretania and the Lusitania (the latter also met an untimely end in 1915).
Crossing the Atlantic
Cruise line companies were the airlines of that time. No one had even crossed the Atlantic by air.
The only way travel across continents was by ship. The companies needed to carry passengers of every class to make a profit. So a large ship with luxury accomodation for the 1st class passengers, and a big capacity for 2nd and 3rd class passengers, could make the maximum amount of money from a single voyage. Titanic had the swankiest 1st class decks and even the third class passengers were in small cabins (up to 8 passengers) instead of in large dormitories which was more common.
By building the Ttanic and her 2 sister ships, the White Star Line hoped to have the most up-to-date fleet and be the first choice for passengers crossing the Atlantic, whether they were rich or poor.

$$$$. There was strong competition between shipping lines. Each line wanted the biggest, fastest, fanciest ship. Having that brought business to the shipping line.
White Star created Titanic, Olympic, and Britannic to compete against Cunard's Lusitania and Mauratania
To make money for the company that owned it. It was to be the largest, fastest, grandest ship of all- and people would want to pay to travel on the Titanic.

What are the 3 types off animation?
The three general types of animation are:
1.) Cel Animation
--> Drawings are made on transparent sheets (celluloid) which may then be laid on top of each other to combine characters and backgrounds
2.) Stop Motion Animation
--> A model or puppet (shadow puppets were used in early stop motion) is shot a frame at a time, with tiny changes in position being made between each frame
3.) Computer Animation
--> Computers can be used to entirely create the shapes and colours of animated action, working from a series of mathematical codes, or they can be used to enhance hand-drawn characters.
Why use stop motion animation?
Stop motion animation is one storytelling technique that can be used to advantage by the director who employs this style.
Given the monies involved in paying actors, vis a vis the monies paid to stop-motion animators, there could be an economic advantage.
There may be actions that are required by the story that no actor could perform.
Engaging an audiences' imagination involves the audience in the story, and stop-motion animation forces suspension of disbelief, because the character is not known for other work.
Is the movie apocalypto a historicaly correct movie?
Apocalypto was combination of both. Fact and faction both were merged in it.
No movie is entirely factual, unless it is a documentary. "Based on a true story" means that some of it is true and some of it is not true. "Inspired by a true story" means that virtually none of it is true. Again, no movie is "fact," unless it is a documentary.
What are elements of film- making?
There are several, including the basic art elements:

*Filters
*Photojournalism

*Collage (including Joiners, which are a pop Collage used for Landscaping/Seascaping)
These are just the names of the various photography elements and genres; if you google or look up "photography <element/genre>" on wikipedia, you'll probably find elaborate definitions and examples of each. I probably missed a few things
studing film making is pretty the same as media studies, and todays world revoles around the media.
Should actors have creative freedom in film making?
No. Actors are the piece of clay to be molded by the director. The producer is the purchaser of said clay. On the other hand, if your name is Johnny Depp or Nicole Kidman, etc, you can probably tell the director to shove the clay analogy up his a**.
