Film Study(Hunger Games) Linking themes to the Impact of Angles, Movement and Shots.

Terms

- Katniss colunteers = Dutch tilt (vulnerability of Katniss.)

- High angle on Elfie - displays power over the crowd.

- Unstable Camera - Uncertainty, mid/long.

- The costume of Effie is revealed in a close up.

- Katniss and Gale - close up - cutting establishes a connection between characters.

- Close ups of Katniss's fac, pre-existing connecting between Peter.

- Low angle - Flag of Panem

Brainstorm -

Why use a low angle? - Preparing the upcoming event in a dramtic way.

Why use a long shot? - To show the crowd's feelings towards the Reaping scene.

Why use dutch tilt? - To show the vulnerabilty of Katniss with her distorted mind.

How do we see themes?

Rich v poor 

- Effie's close - close up - shpwing how rich she is.

- Wide shot - Nobody in D12 has any real material for wealth.

- Compare and Contrast - People of District 12 and the Capitol

What happens for the characters?

I believe that each character in the crowd feared being picked. 

When Primm Rose was selected, Katniss took her time to think meaning, she value her own life but she views her sister's life more important.

What happens for the story?

This is the first start for Katniss's fame.

The reaping scene resymbolises their culture very anual year.

In the reaping scene in The Hunger Games, the idea of Rich v Poor is explained through the use  of wide shots and close ups. The comparison between the wealth of the Capitol, represented by Effie, and the poorness of District 12 is seen in the wide shot of the people gathered at the reaping. A close shot of Effie reveals quality, colourful, make-ip and costume. The wide shot of the crowd is used to show that they are forced to be there. The wide shot also shows the lack of colour in the population of District 12's material and costumes to show they are poor.
