English - The Hunger Games - Workshop
The Hunger Games - Workshop - Camera shots and angles.
Camera shots and angles are used effectively in the film ' The Hunger Games' . For example, in the scene after the tribute parade where we first see the character of President Snow. Gary Ross uses a combination of over the shoulder and high angle with an extreme long shot to show Snow addressing the crowd. This makes us understand that Snow is a powerful individual in the Capitol as everyone is listening to him.The purpose of this is to show Snow's supremacy among the people of the Capitol and the tributes. Coinciding with this, the use of setting shows a special place above others for Snow and below for the tributes. This can be Juxtaposed to the scene later in the film where Katniss and Peeta reclaim power by threatening to eat the poisonous berries in the arena.
Over the shoulder - To bring the audience and make them feel they are part of the conversation.
Extreme long shot - To show how many people are present.
High angle - To show Snow is more powerful and the crowd is weaker and vulnerable.
Dutch tilt - Makes things look out of the normal. Katniss is out of place, she volunteered as tribute to save her sister - She is saying I will die for my sister.
Low angle - Makes the subject bigger/more important. - Katniss is the first volunteer in District 12 - She has been selected to be tribute above all others.
Mid shot - Makes the viewer an onlooker - Makes the audience feel she is suddenly alone.

What does the black cat symbolise?
In the short film , the black cat brought death upon a soldiers so maybe it means death , but I know the black cat symbolises bad luck . So death and bad luck , bad luck because the death that was brought upon the soldier and death because of the bad luck.
How do the filters help show meaning?
The filters are messy and sort of blurry . They can't have used a happy or colourful filter because they represent joy , and joy in war doesn't go well together. The filter also helps set the time and date of when the war happened , because I am very much certain that the war didn't happen in the 21st century.
What and how do the film aspects help with the suspense with the shooting of the German soldier?
Help show a better understanding because I assume the soldiers know now to not go near the black cat because of the death of the German soldier . It also helps show the emotion of sympathy of the soldier. But I did notice when the Maori soldier did hesitate to shoot the German soldier because he was happy while playing with safe animals.
What does the use of the shadow help show?
The shadow represents death.
What shots are used to 'bookend' the film?
Birds Eye View , High Angle , Low Angle , Tracking
