10pm/ 園園：維美音畫詩 My Heart Will Go On （what went wrong with Titanic

mp3連接: http://space.wenxuecity.com/media/1302315724.mp3

這首歌是我第三次重錄，這次我還是沒有去模仿Celion Dion 因為我可能也模仿不來, 就根據自己的特點再配上點綴似的和聲來演繹我對這首歌的理解。錄好後才想起來1912年4月10日是Titanic 的首航日，於是邀請10pm為這個永恒的愛情故事提首小詩做個音畫詩的視頻。真心感謝10pm的給力合作！

怎樣做這個視頻呢？有那麽多的內容，有Titanic的28張圖片，有約50幅的攝影作品，有小詩，有唱，有歌詞，有titles and credits等等，於是我構思了這個模式，用多條膠片串起Titanic圖片，每條膠片的走速都要精算才能連起來，大銀幕展現攝影作品，最後拉幕等等，我很開心最後把想法轉變成了一個藝術視頻。邀請你看到最後。

下麵是網上有關Titanic的一些我以前不知道的內容和大家分享。

What went wrong with Titanic

Titanic 造好後，就headed for Southampton, England. Once there, she was taken to sea for trials. But, unlike any other liner before her, Titanic's sea trials only lasted six hours because she was thought to be like her sister, the Olympic.（真是太過於自信了，這麽一艘巨輪，竟然隻試航了六小時。）

The Titanic was delivered a couple of weeks before her maiden voyage on Wednesday, April 10, 1912. （這麽短的時間內準備這樣的一次遠航，真不可思議。）

The Captain on this ill-fated voyage was Captain Edward James Smith, a noble White Star seaman for 38 years. Popular with the crew and the passengers. The Captain was so impressed with the ship that he completely forgot to do his routine inspection of the ship. He ordered the Cheif to light 4 additional boilers to see how fast she could go. Now, the ship was forcing her engines to move fast as possible without over reviving them. The ship was now making an easy 22 knots without hesitation. The woman next to the Captain, Alice Lines, noticed he and another man talking about the speed of the ship and that it would get to New York earlier than the Olympic and beat her record and get into New York by Tuesday night. （beat the record，勝出了又有多大的意義呢？）

As the ship was pulling into position to dock at Queenstown, Ireland. A short, gray-haired man walked up to the Captain and Purser McElroy and snapped a picture. He shook hands with the Captain and introduced himself as Father Browne, his pictures of the Titanic are very famous today. (這可真是珍貴的曆史鏡頭啊。)

As the ship was ready for departure, the lookouts were questioning White Star personnel as to where their binoculars were. They were told that they were misplaced, and this would play a role in the destruction of the ship. （多麽大的一個錯誤，事實就是：等the lookouts用肉眼看見了冰山，全速的Titanic已經無法避免的撞上去了。）.

The ship was casting off. Setting sail for New York. Taking her innocent victims on a death ride that they would soon not forget.

On Sunday, April 14, 1912, the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean dropped to near freezing; the night was clear and calm. The ship’s captain had received various ice warnings from other vessels, some of which reached the captain and others which did not. At 23:40, while sailing about 400 miles south of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, lookouts spotted a large iceberg directly in the path of the Titanic. Captain Smith took a hard left to try to steer clear of the iceberg, but the massive chunk of ice produced a gaping hole in the starboard site of the Titanic. As the iceberg tore a 299 foot gash in the hull of the Titanic, water begun flooding into the watertight compartments. The Titanic was designed to be able to float with four of these compartments damaged, but the gaping hole exposed five of them, causing the Titanic’s bulkheads to fall below the waterline. (4 compartments damaged都不會沉，偏偏是5個damaged了，everything went wrong) .

The captain ordered the lifeboats deployed and a distress signal be sent out. Ships that received the signal include Mount Temple, Frankfurt, and the Titanic’s sister the Olympic, but none could reach the sinking Titanic in time. Lights from another vessel could be seen in the distance, and although the identity of the ship remains a mystery, speculation is that it was the lights of the Californian or a sealer called the Sampson. The Californian had warned the Titanic’s wireless operator of ice ahead and received an angry response back about being too busy to listen. It is believed that the Californian had seen the distress rockets launched by the Titanic (真是因為前麵Titanic號的回應態度不好而賭氣不救嗎？)

Of the 2,223 passengers on the Titanic, only 706 survived leaving 1,517 dead.（看了這樣的數字，讓人的心都會疼起來。）
