Opening scene =

Music - slow (timbre)
             Minor tone = often means something bad is happening or about to happen.
             Silence = grabs attention


Camera shots= mid shots- to show face and body language.
              Close up - of katniss and prim, to show emotions wide view.
              Wide view - see settings, get more information at once.  
              Extreme close up - your focus on specific information. Ex, the signs says ‘danger’.
              Shaky camera - more realistic, unsettling, as if they’re running with her. 
              Tracking shot - showed how her surroundings changed that she was going somewhere.


Dialogue =
                Crane and Caesar = celebration ‘knitting people together’   
                                                    Crane’s ‘style’ of making prim cry and scream
                                                Prims dreams it was her that was selected
                                            Katniss says ‘it’s your first time you won’t get picked’- foreshadowing


Colour and lighting = The interview - saturated colours, very bright. Neon, Very artificial. Cold light
                               District 12 - Dull, bland, natural, dark, cold light as well.


The reaping = 

Music - Capital video - major - saying it’s a good thing that only two people a year potentially die.                                         - war was worse in the past
            Rest of music - minor - kids are terrified


Dialogue - Reading out the names
               - calm at first, then screaming
               - ‘I volunteer as tribute’ - Sister bond
               - ‘first volunteer from district 12
 - Effie - surprised, feel better, could get promotion, excited, calm, she doesn’t have to sacrifice


Camera shots - close ups - katniss’s reaction to prims name
                                          - Effie - about to read out names - you can see her face how she is covered in make-up so she is different to everyone else, shows she is rich


Medium range - Effie takes katniss and Peta away =
                        - when katniss is in the crowd


long /wide shot - Effie looking out 
                         - to see the mass of people
Panning shot - when people show respect and life their fingers for her


-POV - Katniss looking for prim
          - when they gave a sign of respect
          - watching capital’s film
          - when Katniss walks up stairs - extra shaky to show her fear
          - flashback - memory of Peta and the bread, showing she knows him
          - He helps her
