                                                              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.

Effie

• Bright dress (Pinkish)
• Bright make up
• Caked face
• Pink lips
• Long eyelashes
• Afro

Themes
* Hope and Rebellion
*Rich vs Poor
*Struggle for Power (Katniss & Snow)

                                                                 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:

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.

 - 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.

Notes: 

The first time we have seen the badge was when she went to the market to do some trades.

The second we have seen the badge was when she gave it to her sister to remind her that whatever she does shed have Good luck.

Effie is one of the reapers who go into district 12 and chooses a girl and a boy to participate in the hunger games Effie makes district 12 looks poor of the way she dresses up because of her makeup and her bright, big and colorful clothes whereas in district 12 they have torn, dirty and color faded clothes.

When prim get's called out for the hunger games she tucks her shirt in to show that she's grown up. 

When Primrose got chosen to go for the hunger games Katniss volunteered as tribute.

We see this extravagant through the color.
The girl on Fire (Katniss Everdeen)
The differences between District 12 and the capital is the way that they're living for e.g flash houses to stay technologies are different from district 12
High Shot angles make people look weak and vulnerable from the bottom.
Close up & Over the shoulder conversations.

Migrate from London to New Zealand

Hi, my name is Mary. I am a single mom with 2 kids. I live in Bethnal Green, London. I am planning to migrate to New Zealand because London is too crowded and things are really expensive here. I also want to move to New Zealand because I have family over in New Zealand and I want to find a better job so that i can support me and my family to have a bright and better future. And once I visited NZ is when I was a bit younger and I remembered the beautiful site of NZ, I remembered the nice art in the city and the beautiful houses I've seen. 

So 2 months later I got our visa done and paid for our fares for the boat, the boat was very big and old, and looked very unhygienic. The trip took almost 4 months to reach NZ, the trip was alright but the one thing I was worried about is hoping that we wouldn't crash on the way to NZ. Every night I prayed to God hoping that we would reach there safely. 

4 months later..... 
We reached NZ the ride was a little bumpy now and then but that good thing is we reached here safely. We got off the boat our ride and everything was arranged so we could go to our brand new home. 2 months later
Everything is settled I have a good and better job, my 2 kids are going to a nice private school and life is good out here is good.

Basic Body Paragraph

Point --> State the point at the beginning of the paragraph you wish to make

Evidence --> 2-3 sentences that give evidence to your point.

Explain --> 3-4 sentences that explain your evidence or relation to your point/question.

Link --> Back to your point - 1-2 sentence to the next paragraph- 1 sentence. 

Point 1: Everyone knows it's better to read the book than watch the movie.

Evidence: For example, the movie made of Wonder is very different from the book. It leaves out lots of information. In the book that the main teacher is a female but in the movie they are male. Also, the camp incident missed out the info about Auggies hearing aide.

Explain: This incident made more sense in the book because he was bullied for having his 'Lobo ears' which made him look different. It didn't make sense to bully him in the movie without them.

Link: For these reasons, the book was clearly better than the movie. However, you can enjoy the movie without reading the book.
