Paragraph:
Colour is used effectively to show the theme of Rich vs Poor. This is demonstrated in the two scenes - District 12 at the start of the film and the capitol as Katniss and Peeta arrive on the train. In District 12 a natural, dull and dark palette of greens and browns is used to create a wild atmosphere. In the Capitol, a metallic, industrial colour palette of whites, silvers and greys are used to create a feeling of an advanced society. The purpose of this is to show the rich vs poor in the two societies. The Capitol has more bright colours and advanced buildings and technologies, whereas District 12 has dull colours to show their rundown buildings and overworn clothing. Combined with the use of costumes we're able to see the divide between the wealthy and the capitol and the poor of District 12. This reminds the audience of the riot scene later in the film when the poor citizens of District 11 rebel against the rule of the Capitol.

Paragraph:
In the Reaping scene, the costume is effectively to show the imbalance between rich and poor of Panam. For instance, the children in district 12 all look alike in dull/simple and overworn clothing. In contrast, Effie Trinkett arrives wearing bright clothes, a large wig, and headpiece and excessive make-up. This makes the audience feel sorry for the people of District 12 because Effie is a symbol of 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 district lives in. Coinciding with this is Effies behavior. She is loud, happy and confident while the people of the district 12 are quiet shy and scared. This can be juxtaposed in the scene where Katniss and peeta arrive in the capital. This scene everyone else is rich and clean.

WS1 - The Hunger Games film study
Technique/Aspect - Power/Control - Poverty/Wealth
Over the shoulder (angle)
-Brings the audience into the conversation.
High angle (angle)
-The subject is important/has more power than ones below.
Extreme wide shot (shot)
-Gives perspective and size
-Everyone's looking up at president snow
-Body gestures
-Tributes are seen as vulnerable
-Below the citizens.
Sexy 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 crowd at the tribute parade.
In this scene, the director uses a low angle, over the shoulder, extreme wide shot to show that Snow is greater than everyone else.
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 is 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 and Peeta, reclaim power from Snow in the arena by threatening to eat the nightlock berries and robbing Snow of his victor.
Low angle (angle)
-Shows she is important why? She just volunteered as tribute.
Dutch tilt (angle)
-Dramatic perspective, something is not right.
Mid shot (shot)
-Not intimate for viewers, we feel like we are watching it happen.
