Realism
Suspense - whats going to happen?
Makes us focus more
music during propaganda

Atmosphere - how you feel in a surrounding ( what your mood is)

Foreboding - something evil is going to happen ( or is coming )

Music and silence are used effectively to create a foreboding atmosphere in the Reaping scene. In the reaping scene the tributes from District 12 are selected and we see Katniss volunteer as tribute for her sister. The male tribute selected was Peeta. Silence is used when Effie draws out and reads the tributes names to make us feel like the moment is real to make us focus and draw out the suspense. The director has done this to make the audience worried about who will be chosen. Music was used to introduce the audience to Peeta when his name is drawn. The music is predominantly minor and has a slow tempo which makes us feel sad and worried like Peeta. This is combined with close-up shots of Peeta's worried facial expressions to draw the viewer in.

Keywords: Atmosphere/Mood - how you feel in the surroundings.

The director has put the people in simple clothes to show that they are poor and to make us feel bad for them

The director has put us in a situation where we will dislike the people that live in the capital because they live easy and lavishly. They are arrogant because they think better then they are

Life isn't equal in all places

Effie becomes the symbol of rich vs poor

RICH VS POOR PARAGRAPH

In the reaping scene costume is used effectively to show the imbalance between the rich and poor of Panam. For instance, the children of district twelve all look alike in dull, simple and over worn clothing. In contrast, Effie Trinkett arrives wearing bright colours, a large wig and head piece and excessive makeup. This makes the audience feel sorry for the people of district twelve because Effie is a symbol of the wealth in the capital. We see that not everyone lives in poverty. The director did this to show the hard life f those in katniss' home district. Coinciding with this is Effie's behaviour. She is loud, happy and confident while the people of the district are quiet and scared. This can be juxtaposed to the scene where Katniss and Peeta arrive in the capital. In this scene everyone else is rich and clean and they are the different ones.
