Shot in black and white, various scenes were tinted to heighten their impact, such as night scenes in dark blue and a shot of a stoker feeding a burner in red. With a running time of 35 minutes, In Nacht und Eis was three times longer than the average film of 1912.
The Berlin Fire Department provided water to use for the sinking scenes. The film was produced by Continental Film Studios of Berlin, and while most of its footage was shot in studios and in a lot behind the studio building, some footage was shot in Hamburg and some was possibly done aboard the German ocean liner Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, then docked at Hamburg. The captain swims to the lifeboat but when he is offered to be saved, he instead swims away to his apparent death. Some survivors make it to a lifeboat, where they are pulled in. The radio room floods and finally the operators and captain jump ship and the Titanic sinks. Fire blows out of the funnels during the sinking and then the boilers explode. The radio operators (who take up most of the sinking part of the film) send out an urgent SOS. Women and children are loaded while the men are held back. Panic strikes the passengers and the crew ready the lifeboats despite the fact that there aren't enough of them. On April 14, during dinner in the Cafe Parisian, the Titanic strikes an iceberg, throwing the passengers in the cafe to the side.

The movie depicts the life of the passengers on board the ill-fated ocean liner. The film starts out by the passengers boarding at Southampton. In the film, a small model ship hits an ice block in a small pond and sinks. The film's special effects are primitive by modern standards, but were impressive for that time. The filming began during the summer of 1912 and the film premiered that winter. In Nacht und Eis (English: "In Night and Ice"), also called Der Untergang der Titanic ("The Sinking of the Titanic") is a 1912 German film about the sinking of Titanic.
