Poster to SLumDog Millionaire

Analysing SlumDog Millionaire Poster

I feel that this film poster helps the audience to learn more about the film. The man and women standing offset in the poster look happy, like they are celebrating something also there is confetti falling over them. The man looks happy and much more exited about something that the women. She seems to be very shy and quiet. The man seems to have what looks like english cloths on. The women looks to have Indian traditional cloths on which will add to the film being set in India.

The bright colours of the title is very eye catching and also the pink and blue are complementary colours. At the bottom of the poster is the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game show layout. This gives the poster a feeling that the film is going to be a big game.

SLUMDOG = slum means poor / the slums in India and dog meaning, a dog and they are comparing the people who live in the slums in India to dogs meaning that they live in poverty.

The director of SlumDog Millionaire is Danny Boyle. His name is written at the top of the poster to stand out to the audience. He is quite a well know director and I feel that this is why his mane is so clear at the top of the poster.

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.

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.
