The Hunger Games - Film Study - English - Symbols

The film I am studying is 'The Hunger Games' ,The topic of my paragraph at the moment is symbols and how 'The Hunger Games' presents them throughout the movie to create an understanding of the viewers to the movie.

The topic of the movie and what Gary Ross tries to pass on to his viewer is that when Katniss Everdeen volunteers for tribute in Primrose Everdeen's place she does it out of care for her sister. As a viewer, When Katniss volunteered , that to me was a symbol of love and care from Katniss to Primrose because she is able to risk life physically in order for Primrose to live. The Mockingjay pin is another symbol that plays an increasing part in the movie, The Mockingjay represents hope so that when Katniss wears it nothing bad is supposed to happen to her. Another chapter of the movie where the Mockingjay takes part of is when Katniss and Rue try and think of a way of communication, So the Mocking jays repeat after them.

'Girl on Fire'
Symbol that represents Katniss Everdeen is "Girl on Fire" was first shown in the Tribute Parade when The Capitol were showing all the tribute representatives from all 12 districts. Katniss and Peeta were the last so when they were in view of the audience it was thrilling the audience when the fire ignited. It didn't burn them either. As well as when they held their hands and raised them, that was a symbol that they will try to win 'The Hunger Games' together.

What am I learning?

Symbols, and how they play an effective part in each movie and in life.

How does this show my learning?

I didn't use all of the symbols, but I used the ones that were obvious, and played a part in each characters life as a character.

Practical Week 4 
- Teamwork Aspects 
I think the team I work with was good with communicating with each other and work well together and listen to each other and everyone in the team is always doing something and rarely not busy.
- Tasks
-Skills with the team.
Communication and not fighting over who gets to do something or who gets more.
- Improvements
We did work well as a team last lesson for cooking, but something that does need improving in is listening to the example and reading the instructions more carefully to meet the right standards and if so if one day one of us were to become a chef or is involved with cooking in the future we know what to do.
- Time Management
I think the team did very well with managing the time.

Product/Outcome
- Feedback
The finishing outcome I would describe as tasteful, I say this because they were a very good quality for being homemade fish n chips and the fish was still frozen and we had only about an hour to finish them.

The Hunger Games - Film Study - English - SEXXXY Paragragh

In 'The Hunger Games' The Director, Gary Ross , uses camera shots effectively . As an example ,when he uses high angle birds eye view angle when Katniss does the 3 finger salute to the camera to Rues district a while after she died. The 3 finger salute is a signature gesture that District 12 do, the 3 finger salute to District 11 (Rues District) shows that Katniss cared for Rue and to show her respects to Rue, her district, her family and everyone that cared for her, instead of just leaving Rue for dead so she can win like most of the others did. The 3 finger salute was now (in 'The Hunger Games') a gesture that now all of the districts do.  Which leads to the topic Hope & Rebellion and the 3 finger salute started it all , so if anyone were to gesture to the 3 finger salute, they would get punished.
