Brainstorm:
What happening - Reaping scene- 2 tributes selected to complete in the hunger games.
                           - Best dressed

Describe costumes - light colours, nuetral tones, old fashioned, simple.
                               - boys - dros shirts, pants or shorts
                               - colours, cold, clean, faded-washed and worn a lot.
                               - older clothes mended

Effect on viewer - thinks they're poor - because clothes are outdated
                                                             - peacekeepers/Effie in new dean outfits
                            - think it is a bad thing living - emotionless, all the colour has been drained.

Director purpose - show the comarison/ juxtaposition of the district in the capital.
                            - Shows theme 'rich vs poor' because district doesn't have access to nothing
                                                             

In the reaping scene, costume is used effectively to show the theme 'rich vs poor'. For example, the potential tributes are dressed in formal shirts, skirts and trousers. Their clothes are well-worn, weathered and dull. This makes us understand the people in district 12 are poor because ther best dressed clothes are old and faded compared to the capitol representatice, Effie Trinket. This is done to show the juxtaposition between the extreme wealth of the capitol and the poverty of those in district 12. This worked well with the use of make-up as shown by Effie. She has lots of make-up on including long pink eyelashes, an extremely white foundation and pink gold lips. This tells the viewer that she ios wealthy because she can afford extravagant make-up when those in district 12 can barely afford clothes. This aspect can be compared to the scene where the tributes arrive off the train in the capitol. There we see luxary and excess wealth in the costumes of the capitol citizens compared to the rags worn by Peta and Katniss.
