Paragraph
Color is used effectively to create an atmosphere. We see this in the two scenes - District 12 at the beginning and the Capitol as Katniss and Peeta arrive. In District 12 we see a natural palette of browns, greys, and greens whereas is the Capitol people wear bright colors and a metallic palette of greys, silvers, and white is used. This makes us understand that things in District 12 are dark, old, and gloomy whilst living in the Capitol easy, crowded, and futuristic. The director did this to show the imbalance of Rich vs Poor. This shows life is hard and people are poor in the districts, but in the Capitol life is easy.

Paragraph
Music and silence are used effectively to create a foreboding (evil) atmosphere in the Reaping scene. In the Reaping scene, the tributes from District 12 are selected and we see Katniss volunteer as a tribute for her sister. The male tribute selected was Peeta. Silence is used when Effie draws out and reads the tributes names to make us feel like the moment is real to make us focus and draw out the suspense. The director has done this to make the audience feel worried about who will be chosen. Musc has used to introduce the audience to Peeta when his name is drawn The music is predominantly minor and has a slow tempo which makes us feel sad and worried like Peeta. this is combined with close - up shots of Peeta's worried facial expressions to draw the viewer in.

Rich vs Poor
In the reaping scene, the costume is used effectively to show the imbalance between the rich and poor of Panam. For instance, the children of district 12 all look alike in dull, simple and overworn clothing. In contrast, Effie Trinket wearing bright colors, a large wig, and headpiece and excessive makeup. This makes the audience feel sorry for the people of district 12 because Effie is a symbol of the wealth in the capital. we see that not everyone lives in poverty. The director did this to show the hard life of those in Katniss's home district. Coinciding with Effie's behavior. She is loud, happy and confident while the people of the district are quiet and scared. This can be juxtaposed to the scene where Katniss and Peeta arrive in the Capital. In this scene, everyone else is rich and clean and they are the different ones.

Understanding the importance of setting to a film
Hunger Games:
- Over the shoulder ( Brings the audience into the conversation)
- High angle ( The subject is important/ has power
- Extreme wide shot ----> gives perspective and size.
- Everyone is looking up at President Snow
- Body language and gestures
- Tribute has seen as weak and vulnerable at his feet, also below the citizens
Technique/Aspect
Power/Control
SEXXXY Paragraph practice.
In 'The Hunger Games' camera shots and angles are used effectively to show the theme of power. We see this when President Snow is addressing the crowds at the Tribute parade. In this scene, the director uses a low angle, over the shoulder extreme wide shot to show that snow has the power over everyone. The purpose of this is to introduce the antagonist character and show the power and control he has over others, including Katniss. Coinciding with this in the use of lighting focusing on the tributes and Snow to show that they are the most important figures in the scene. This can be juxtaposed to when the tributes, Katniss & Peeta, reclaim power from Snow in the arena by threatening to eat the nightlock berries and robbing Snow of his Victor.
2nd photo
- Low angle ( shows she is important, why? she just volunteered as tribute, the 1st volunteer in District 12)
- Dutch tilt ( dramatic perspective, something is not right)
- Mid shot ( not intimate for the viewer, we feel like we are watching it happen)
- Costume - compare Effie with D12 - rich vs poor.
What was life like for people then?
District 12 was one of the poorest and smallest district out of all districts. District 12 main industry is coal mining, the mines were closed after the second rebellion and their main industry started making medicines. District 12 is located in Appalachia next to the wild forests, it was really hard for them to find food to eat.
