 * "Occasionally, far too occasionally, a film comes along that once again reminds you of the power of the cinematic experience: how movement, composition, light, colour and music can be stunningly shaped to create the most exquisite drama."**

"The climax was so tense I actually fell off my chair. And the ending had me in tears. Tears of joy..."
These are just some of the comments that critics made about this amazing film. The focus of study will be to look at techniques used in the making of the film. You will get to learn terms such as mis--en--scene, montage as well as becoming familiar with camera angles, shots, editing, lighting, costuming, music etc. Home work tasks for this unit will involve writing an extended response analysis of a scene, which will be preparation for the end of year exam. The assessment allows the chance to be more creative. You will be designing a film poster that could be used to advertise Slumdog Millionaire.
