This is an example of zoom It involves changing the focal
length of the lens to make the subject appear closer or
further away in the frame. They zoomed into Latika’s face to
show us the scar she got from the train station.
Bird’s Eye View:
Danny Boyle gave us a clear bird’s eye view in the beginning
of the film, taking us over Jamal as he is tortured and
interrogated. This is usually used to give us an overview
(unintentional pun) of the scene’s setting and to give us a
feeling of domination and power of the subject in the scene,
in this case, Jamal.
Dissolve:
A dissolve in filmmaking is a gradual transition from one
scene to the next without the abrupt cut, but rather an
overlapping of the two scenes
Montage:
A montage is a rapid display of images, and depending on the
speed of the transition of the images, it can give us a sense
of a fast or slow paced scene.
