These are some key points I have read from the article about the editing style. These are some quotes and I have explained some in further detail.
"quick-cutting editing techniques, slow motion and a pop music soundtrack" are editing styles present in the film.
"loud music Boyle’s uses to make every scene jump out of the screen, mixing traditional Indian music with more familiar pop songs". The joining of two cultures (Indian culture for the protagonist and Western culture for the audience) is signified by the music mix- Inviting the audience more into the film.
"Furthermore there were some slow-motion frames, which were particularly used for one of the film’s signature scenes of the female lead, Latika (Freida Pinto), standing on a train platform, smiling." This is a reccuring theme in the film often revisited. The slow motion frames could signify its importance because it its very noticable.
"The scene where Jamal’s mother killed was strongly brought up by the environment noise with less dialogue as it portrays a feel of disorganised nation". This example shows how Dickens uses digetic sound rather than non-digetic sound to signify emotions. In this example its a memory of the feeling of distortion.
