Slumdog Millionaire
•Throughout this film, the love story is shown through intervals of a tense game. The close ups into his face shows reality through his facial emotions and the intense sweat on his face and also as the camera is doing extreme close ups, it feels as though it also zooms into memories.
•When the story follows the train track, this also represents the long journey that they will have in life to become reconnected. As a train has many important parts to it (carriages), these could also represent the significant parts in their lives. It may also signify that although they may seem to be close, there is always something breaking them.
•The darkness and dirtiness shown in the beginning parts of their childhood memories could foreshadow the hard times ahead of them. It is all quite hard and horrid and could highlight the depressing days that they grow up to endure.
•Many establishing shots are used to set the disgusting scenes of what poverty is like in India. Establishing shots were used to show slums, derelict rubbish dumps and also the immense and growing population involved in the poverty struggle.
•Diegetic sounds were used to illustrate the situations people were involved in but did not show the images as they may have been too graphic e.g. in the building in which a two people were engaging in a sexual activity. A lot of the diegetic sounds gave the audience a true feel of the surroundings, eg it wasn’t all quiet when focusing on a particular character but all the surrounding, cars, motorbikes and dialect were involved in the background.
