James Cameron utilises Mis-en-scene in Titanic to its full extent by exposing the viewer to a wide selection of Sets, Props, and costumes that are thematically accurate which helps the world-building and allows the audience to realise that they are in a time period very different from their own.

In the iconic scene that features Jack and Rose at the front of the titanic, the background shows the ocean making the audience aware of the ship’s location isolated away, in the middle of the sea in addition the lighting is dark and the sky is an orangy tint to create a sense of romance. And lastly, the set of the front of the ship also helps the audience visualise their location.

The costumes that the characters wear in the titanic are old fashioned to present that the film isn’t made in a modern period, in addition, Jack’s costume is more scruffy compared to roses which appear quite elegant to symbolise their wealth disparity.
