Three edit choices in the Titanic
This is the simultaneity scene. In this scene the staff are informing the guests that they need to get the stuff they need and evacuate their floor and get to the top deck. This is the floor that the wealth guests are staying on, and they are the privileged ones that get access to the life boats. The designer of the boat thought the Titanic thought it was unsinkable, so life boats were not necessary and there is only enough for half of the people on the ship. These guests don't know it yet but the boat is sinking during this scene and many have already died.
This is the parallelism scene. Leading up to this scene a group of deep sea divers were exploring the shipwreck of the Titanic looking for the Heart of the Ocean necklace, and found the safe that contained the drawing that Jack did of Rose. The drawing was put onto the news, which is when Rose, who is now 103, saw it and called the ship saying she had information about the drawing. So, Rose and her granddaughter were flown out to the ship on a helicopter and Rose brought her goldfish with her. The parallelism is when a crew member hands the goldfish bowl to someone and it cuts to the goldfish in Rose's room on the ship.
This is the contrast scene. In this scene, Caledon is confronting Jack and Rose because he is mad at Rose for having a romantic relationship with Jack, while he is engaged to Rose. Caledon being the villain he is, slips the Heart of the Ocean necklace into Jack's coat pocket and then reports Jack to the security guards. This makes Rose think that Jack betrayed her and was just using her to get the necklace, Jack is then hauled off by security and arrested. The scene then cuts to men going in to a room and rolling out a blue print of the ship to figure out a game plan for evacuating the ship.
