Murky water
Directors occasionally have to make choices based only on appearance, and they have to give up some credibility in the process. We never realized that even the water doesn’t appear exactly as it should have when we viewed Titanic. The water would actually be muddy, considerably darker, and teeming with marine life. That would have been far more true to life, but it would have been extremely difficult to film and would have presented a challenge for cinematographers as well.

Up and down we go
Jack demands that Rose board a lifeboat as the ship plummets and they struggle to get to the upper deck. She agrees to sit in one of these boats because he is so insistent about it, but she later changes her mind when she notices Jack on the deck and realizes she might not see him again. It appears that the boat has dropped roughly ten feet from its starting point when they lower it. Subsequently, the camera captures Jack and Cal conversing for almost forty seconds. The next time we see Rose in the boat, she’s only around five feet down, despite the fact that the crew kept lowering the vessel while they conversed. That is illogical!
