Over the Shoulder Shot - Titanic


This is an over the shoulder shot from Titanic. It is taken from behind Rose. It's mainly used to put the audience in the position of the character so that they feel involved. It can also be used to convey threat and the feeling that someones watching. Often it's used to hide someones face and cover identity. In this case it's used for the audience to imagine they are Rose and have Jack say lovely things to them. It's a part of the charm and obsession with the film for people to imagine they're the character.
