Titanic Behind the scenes-Camera effects in Titanic (movie)

Titanic is a 1997 American epic, romantic, disaster film directed, written, co-produced, and co-edited by James Cameron about the sinking of the RMS Titanic. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson and Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater, two members of different social classes who fall in love aboard the ill-fated maiden voyage of the ship. The main characters and the central love story are fictional, but some characters (such as members of the ship's passengers and crew) are based on historical figures. Gloria Stuart portrays the elderly Rose, who narrates the film in a modern day framing device, and Billy Zane stars as Cal Hockley, the overbearing fiancé of Rose's younger self.

Production of the film began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the real wreck of the RMS Titanic. He envisioned the love story as a means to engage the audience with the real-life tragedy. Shooting took place on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh -- which aided Cameron in filming the real wreck -- for the modern scenes, and a reconstruction of the ship was built at Playas de Rosarito, Baja California. Cameron also used scale models and computer-generated imagery to recreate the sinking. At the time, the picture became the most expensive film ever made, costing approximately US$200 million with funding from Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox.[3][4][5][6]

The film was originally to be released on July 2, 1997, but post-production delays pushed back the film's release to December 19, 1997.[7] The film turned out to be an enormous critical and commercial success. Nominated for fourteen Academy Awards, it won eleven, including Best Picture.[8] It became the highest-grossing film of all time, with a worldwide total of over $1.8 billion, and remained so for twelve years until Cameron's directorial follow-up, Avatar, surpassed it in 2010.[9][10]

The film is due to be re-released in theatres in 2012 after Cameron completes its 3-D transformation.[11]

About half of the photos you've posted are of a model specifically created and designed for use in the 1980s film "Raise the Titanic." This model wasn't used in the production of the 1997 "Titanic." The Raise the Titanic model is currently rotting away with other old movie sets. If anyone is interested in salvaging it, I can provide a location/contact info.
