James Cameron went down in one of the submarines shown in the film in 1993 to see the real wreckage of the Titanic. He studied the real event for 5 years before making the films and took 12 dives to the wreckage of the Titanic. He decided to make the film a love story before he went on his dives down to the Titanic however he wanted to "do the film right" after he saw the wreckage and understood the tragedy of the real event. Footage he took on his expeditions down to the ship ended up in the motion picture film.
