District 12 - Poverty

Rich V Poor

Hope + Rebellion - 3 finger salute 

• it is a sign of respect for katniss from the people of her district
• Katniss is a symbol of hope for a district victor 
• Katniss is a symbol of rebellion because she steps in for her sister ( a weaker character ) when she is reaped

• Terror - fear
• Effie - joyful, confident, excited, close up of lips when reading names
• Katniss - Panic when Prim is reaped, shock when she stands with Effie
• Peeta - Fear, Panic, shock

Shallow focus 

• The people in the background are in shallow focus when Prim + Katniss hug
• forces the viewer to watch the characters in focus

Viewer feels

• Sorry for the tributes - Primrose - it was her first time 
• Sorry for katniss - she volunteered - selfless act 
• Anger towards Capitol for the reaping
• We consider Effie is annoying, happy, stuck up, clueless

Directors purpose 

• 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
