In The Scene " they dont want me ", Dialogue is used to create a foreboding atmosphere.

Katniss and Peeta are having a conversation about how the upcoming games might effect them. This is demonstrated by the quotes " I dont want them to Change me, " and "If I'm gonna die, I still wanna be me" spoken by Peeta. These show that Peeta has a sense that he is going to have to do things that he doesn't want to have to do like kill others. This makes the audience feel sorry for Peeta because he is likely going to die, or kill others to stay alive. The director did this to make us believe Peeta will die early and that being a tribute isn't something to celebrate but a loss of personal autonomy. This worked well with the Dark colours of blacks and greys which adds to the foreboding atmosphere. This aspect can be contrasted to when Peeta joins the Career Pack once in the game because they are cold hearted killers which is what Peeta didn't want to be.

RUES DEATH SCENE:

Rues death: Directors Purpose: feel katnisses Emotions at that moment - remore, anger, helplessness, acceptance, rebellion

Symbols of 3 fingers Salutte is a Sign of Defiance + Anger towards the game makers - You will not take my humanity, Also a symbol of unification with those who have lost loved ones to the games. 

Music is used to create an atmosphere of Sorrow and Remorse in Rues Death Scene. - We see Katniss dealing with the Slaughter of her young friend Rue. For example, the tempo is slow, the dynamics are quiet and the key  is minor to reflect the emotional roller-coaster that Katniss is feeling. Like the music, Katniss moves slowly and methodically to cover Rues Body in white flowers. As she finishes , the music builds in volume, showing the increasing intensity of her anger and grief towards the Capitol. This makes us understand the pain experienced by the families of the tributes when they are killed each year. This was done to enable the viewer to feel the characters emotions. This worked well with  the use of while flowers to symbolise rues innocence + purity and the high angle shop making her weak + vulnerable. combined with the music we are shown that Rue is a victim of the cruelty if the Capitol
