PREZI

What I learnt - I learnt about some of the land marks and learnt new things about why hagley park is or was so import and also why the botanic gardens was so important. Hagley park was so important because it used to be used for horse racing
I found out that hagley park being important was very interesting as ive never known why it was important, and also i was wondering why the park was so big

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

- forces the viewer to watch the characters in focus
- Sorry for the tributes - Primrose - it was her first time

- Anger towards Capitol for the reaping
- We consider Effie is annoying, happy, stuck up, clueless
- need to be invested in their journey/suffering
- need to be angry at Capitol so that we judge them + their decisions later
- Effie is depicted as a symbol of people in the district, they are clueless - dont see the suffering
- starts as we move to picking the boys
- minor key, tempo - slower, dynamic
- Starts quiet then gets louder to build tensity. Mood - Tension, morose
- grey, natural, bright, cold
- Mood - Sad, depressed,
