The cast of Slumdog Millionaire

The cast in SlumDog Millionaire were real people from slums in India. Which the directors and producers took a risk using, as people want to see well known actors that have been in other films that they can relate to. I feel using real people from the slums was a great idea. They didn't have to act but could be themselves and natural situations. They were just under the pressure of having a camera in their home.
Technological Convergence

To film SlumDog Millionaire they used new technology. Some of the scenes that they filmed were in cramped and tight spaces. They used a camera called a Innovative SI-2K Digital Cinema Camera which allows them to film in small spaces and not be all cramped. This means that they can film people jumping over the roofs and the film crew do not get in the way of the actors.


Writer of SlumDog Millionaire 

The writer of SlumDog Millionaire is Simon Beaufoy. Simon Beaufoy was born in 1966 and is a british screenwriter. He won the 2009 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for SlumDog Millionaire and also winning a Golden Globe and a BAFTA award. 
Simon Beaufoy is not a very well known writer but in 2008 he also wrote 'Burn Up' and 'Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day'.

Production

SlumDog Millionaire screenwriter was Simon Beaufo. Based on the Boeke Prize-winning and Commonwealth Writers Prize written by Vikas Swarup called Q & A.

SlumDog Millionaire was produced by Channel 4 / Film 4 who is in joint production with Celedor production, who makes the programme Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and therfore is losely based on the programme who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
I would say that the target audience for SlumDog Millionaire is the british public as it is an English film. I fell that older teenagers and adults would enjoy the movie.
