Corronation Street/Shortland Street
Well, I had rehersals untill 7:30 , and I was hopeing
to get to watch some really awesome TV show.
Unfortunitly I had to watch Shortland Street and
Corronation Street. At a first glance of both, you would
think Corro would appeal to 40-60+, and Shortland
Street would appeal to 15-29. Oddly enough, my younger
sister (of 6) watchs Corronation Street and throughly injoys
it. She actualy knows half of the characters names. It seems
my mum has taken her to the "dark side". Shortland Street
keeps its target audience at Teens to Adults, and Corro with
6 - 70. Longest range ever.

Running for the phone
1. Long shot :
This element is used on Latika when she is running (combined with the tracking shot)
to the phone. It changes its view, from behind here, to along side her. This element
is used to raise the intenseity of the scene, wondering if she is going to get there
in time or not. It creates suspence, doing it great as it does.
2. Cross cutting:
This element is used alot in this scene. Its cuts between the different characters
(Jamal, Latika and Salim). This is a "climax" moment, because you unsure
what Salim's doing and if Latika is going to answer the phone in time. Its used
to its full use, and very well done.
3. Tracking shot:
The tracking shot is also used on Latika, also when she is running for the phone. It
show here mainly from behind, running very fast.
4.Music: The music element in this scene is used to great effect. The only music used
is that on the phone (Salims ring tone) but it stays in your head even tough you only hear
it afew times.
5. Close-ups: A close-up element is used on Jamal and Salims face during this scene. It shows
the difference of there face. Jamals face is tense, seeing as hes unsure whether anyone will answer. Salim is relaxed as he washes his face. When Latika answers the phone, Jamals face turns from shocked (hearing her voice) to relaxed.

Slumdog Millionare Sum-Up
The visual text, "Slumdog Millionare" has various movie techniques. For one, you have know clue about whats going on at the start of the movie. It starts to give flashbacks, and you assume one of the children is the main character. This technique is used to great effect, lasting the whole movie and not getting dull. Another technique would be when you find out that the present you are viewing is actually before he wins the 20 Million rupees.
Also, there are some great camera techniques used. For one, it places the camera low to show stregthand true overwelm-ingness of the character. It also reverses this effect and places the camera high to show how "small" or weak the character is. It also closes in on a characters eyes to show angeror sadness at a close range.
Some other camera shots used are near the end of the film. There are some side-on long shots of Latika running. These shots only last afew seconds, because it goes to shots of Jamal on the show and Salim.

Camera positioned high, looking down. Emphasises the vulnerability of the object or person in focus.
5)Music: This usually ties in with the action. It can be used to let the audience know what is about to happen or to affect their emotions. The music heard at the start of a film sets the tone for the whole film and is sometimes repeated at important times throughout.
6)Sound Effects:
Noises other than the spoken voice.
