SlumDog Millionaire - Analysis of Sound

In this clip the sound of the water connects all the first scenes of the boys and the mob, the noise makes us feel as if we are seeing it from the boys point of view because the sound is muffled and not clear, telling us this is his memory. Another reason is the sound creates the feeling of being frozen, as the boys are while watching the mob attack, this is also added to by the slow motion editing. The point where the mother is knocked out brings us out of slow motion because the sound is so harsh and distinct compared to the others which have been muffled. This is the point where the setting changes the pace is then speeded up, a fast tempo is introduced and the scene becomes chaotic. Certain sounds are exaggerated on top of other ambient sounds to show the details he remembers for example the bottle smashing and the man on fire. Linking all these shots is the background sound and the drum we here. This stops when we see God Rama, the background chaos noise disappears and we hear sound of the game show studio, this scene is different to show its importance which we realise later. This is also shown because these shots are longer than the others which have been short and close up.
