Workshop 2: Angles, Movement & Shots | English

Brainstorm
  - The Reaping Scene
  • Katniss volunteers as a tribute when her sister was chosen.
  • The children/parents of the district giving the three-finger salute. 
  • Peeta is chosen as the other tribute. 
Hope and Rebellion 
  • 3 Fingered Salute
    - it's 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 when no one else would. 
Rich vs Poor  
⟶ Symbol - Effie Trinket - extreme, make-up, wig, hat, overly colourful and flashy outfit, proper accent. 
  • Technology - Use of blood readers/scanners, projectors. 
    • District 12 
      - Children's outfits for reaping are their best clothes, dresses, shirts - collared, boys - shorts or pants, colours of their clothes are very faded from washes and reusing. 
      - The village is falling down around them. '
Angles
  • Close-Up - Faces 
    • Primrose when reaped - Terror, Fear
    • Effie - joyful, confident, excited - close of lips when reading names
    • Katniss - panics when Prim is reaped, shock when she stands with Effie.
    • Peeta - fear, panic, shock.
  • Shallows Focus 
    • The people in the background are in shallow focus when Prim Katniss hug. This forces the viewer to watch the characters in focus. 
Viewer Feel 
  • Sorry for tributes 
    • Primrose - it was her first she has been reaped.
    • Katniss - she volunteered, a selfless act. 
  • Anger towards the 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 ew judge them and their decisions later. 
  • Effie is depicted as a symbol of people in the District who are clueless - don't see the suffering
Music 
  • Starts as we move to pick the boys.
  • Minor key, tempo - slower, dynamic.
  • Starts quiet then gets louder to build intensity.
  • Mood - Tension, morose
Lighting
  • Bright, Grey, Natural, Cold 
  • Mood - sad, depressed, 
Colour 
  • Dull, cold, palette - grey, white, blue, faded, washed out 
  • Atmosphere - despair, sorry for the people, poverty, rundown 
Facial expressions are dull, bland and sad matching the lighting and colour.
