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.
