Slumdog Millionaire Technique Review

Slumdog Millionaire is a bollywood movie. It is a very exciting movie that is about a serious matter that happens around the world. This movie opened up people's eye to the real world. I liked the way they did the shooting. I liked the way they shot the movie because when the movie first started you didn't know what was going on. One of the first scenes in the movie is a shot of the present which is Salim (Main Character) answering the question for the game show "Who wants to be a millionaire" then when he is about to answer it goes to a scene of a flashback. The flashbacks at first seem random but then I soon realised that the flashbacks show how Salim got the answers. Also towards the end of the movie there is several pan shots of different parts of India that are watching the show. This is a great shot because it shows all the different environments in India and how many people watch the show. This also builds up the climax even more showing that these people are rooting for Salim to win the show. This shot is able to build up all this climax which I think is very clever. I think that this was an effective way to shoot the movie because the director was able to build up climax and tension but in such a simple way.
