Brainstorm

The Reaping Scene 

-Katniss volunteer as tribute when her sister is chosen.  

-The children/ parents of the district given her the 3 finger salute

- Peeta is chosen as the male tribut.  

Hope and Rebellion

- 3 finger salute - it is a sign of respect for Katniss from the people of the district. 

- Katniss is a symbol of hope for a district victor. 

- Katniss is a symbol of rebellion because she steps in for her sister (A weaker character) when she is reaped.

 

Rich vs Poor   Symbol - Effie Trinket - Extreme make-up, wig, hat, overly colourful and flashy outfit, paper accent, 

- Technology- use of blood readers/scanners, projectors.

Dsitrict 12- Childrens outfits are for reaping are the best clothes, dresses, shirts-collard, boys - short or pants, colours of clothes are very faded from washes and reusing. 

- The village is falling down around them.  

 

Close-ups - Faces - Primrose when is reaped - Terror, fair, 

- Effie trinket - Joyful, tconfident, excited - close of lips when reading names. 

- Katniss -  Panic when Prim is reaped, shock when she stands with Effie.  

- Peeta - Fear, panic, shock

Shallow Focus - The people in the background are in shallow focus when Prim and Katniss hug. This forces the viewer to watch the characters in focus. 

Viewer Feels - Sorry for the tributes - Primrose - It was her first time being reaped

- Katniss - she volunteered - self less act. 

- anger towards the Capitol for the reaping. 

-  We consider Effie is annoying, happy, stuck-up, clueless. 

Directors purpose - need to invest in their journey/suffering 

-  need to be angry at the Capitol so that we judge them and their decision later.

- Effie is depicted as a symbol of people in the Districts, they are clueless - don't see the suffering.   

 

Music 

- Starts as we move to picking the boys Minor key, tempo-Slower, dynamic starts quiet then gets louder to build intension mood-tension, morose

Lighting 

- Bright, natural, cold, mood-sad, depressed,

Colour 

- dull, cold, palette-grey, white, blue, faded, washed out, atmosphere- despair, sorry for the people, poverty, run-down 

Facial/expression are dull, bland and sad matching the lighting and colour.
