Brainstorm -
The Reaping scene -
- Katniss volenteers as tribute in place of her sister prim who was reaped as a victor.
- The children/parents of the district give her the 3 finger solute as a simbol of respect for katniss.
- Peeta is chosen as the male tribute.
Key themes shown -
- Hope and rebellion (3 finger solute- it is a sign of respect for katniss from the people of her district. First volenteer in the district, means she is a symbol of hope for a district with only one victor, a symbol of rebellion because she becasue she steps in for her sister (A weaker character) when nobody else would.
- Rich vs Poor Symbol of rich = Effie Trinket, Extreme Makeup, excesive wig, hat, overly colourful and flashy outfit, proper accent. Technology = Use of blood identifiers/scanners, projectors on big screens. Symbol of poverty = Chilrens outfits for reaping are the best clothes, dresses, shirts collared, boys - shorts or pants, coloures have faded from overuse and washing. The village is wooden and falling apart around them, the goverment building is well built stone.
Angles and shots in the reaping scene -
- Shallow focus/Sharp focus. (Members of dictric 12 are in shallow focus when prim is reaped, Prim and katniss are in sharp focus so the veiwers attention is drawn to those characters.)
- Close up (Prim rose when reaped - terror, shock, nervous. Effie Trinket - Show that she is calm, happy, confedent, excited, Lips, Excesive makeup. Katniss Everdeen - Panic when prim is reaped, Shock when she stands with effie and it sinks in what she has done. Peeta Mellark - Shock, Disbelief, panic.)
- Over the Sholder
- High angle
- Low angles
- Dutch tilt
- Wide shot
- Medium close-up
- Extreme Close up
Viewer feels -
Sorry for the tributes - Primrose as it was her first time and she is so young - katniss as it was a selfless act for her sister.
Anger towards the capitol for the reaping -
We consider effie as annoying, happy, stuck up, cocky, clueless
Director purpose -
Viewers feel invested in their suffereing an their journey throughout the story.
Want us to choose katniss's side, and be angry at capitol and judge their later decisions
See effie as anoying as she is an ambassador for the capitol (depicted as a symbol of people in the capitol)
