                                                       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.
