Slow Motion

My interpretation of Slow Motion is when a scene or an action is slowed down significantly beyond reality. This is often used so that the audience can see an action in more detail than usually possible.

I believe this technique was used so that the action of the characters bowling is slow down by a significant amount allowing for an almost comical, enjoyable atmosphere surrounding the action, it is easier to see action occurring and the characters movements. This means the audience have more of an opportunity to perceive what is happening and as a result pay more attention.
