Slumdog Millionaire (Station Scene)




In this scene Jamal sees Latika and could see the villians coming to kidnap her but he can't do anything as he is really far away. This is a generic convention because in Romantic movies there are normally an obstruction between the two getting together or one person going to rescue the other person. This is also shown by the way the two characters are seperated by people walking through making a wider distance between them. It is a technical code and could suggest there is going to be a struggle for the two characters to reunite. Another technical code is seen just as Jamal spots the villians and with out a second thought he screams, warning Latika. We notice how Latika without hesitation jus run's. We immediately sence something negative, which suggests there is a connection between them.

Preliminery Excercise



In the making of this exercise I participated in the story board along with the other group members however, my main role was the editing.

The first problem our group faced was getting every member to come in and be part of this exercise. To solve this we sat down and agreed to attend all lessons.
During the editing we had two shots, one after the other but it was missing something to bring them together. We used a clip that wasnt needed, made it shorter and added it in. It took a while to figure out but got there in the end.

To avoid this same problem in our main task we will be filming a range of the same shots which lets us decide which is better and alows us to merge various clips/ parts of a clip. It also alows us to use repetition and if anything messes up, we have a backup.
