Film Techniques used in The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins have been everyone’s favourite and so is the movie directed by Gary Ross. The Hunger Games movie uses variety of film techniques for example camera angle, colours, sound effects, and music. Film techniques are used in many films to create mood, emotions, and meanings to grab the audience attention. Camera angles are used in many professional filming, it adds depth and it emotionally appeals the audience. One of the effective scene that use the angle technique, is during the Tribute Parade. It was shot from the tributes point of view looking up to president snow, this camera angle shows that president snow is someone to respect. Each colour has a meaning and can create emotions, green and blue is relaxing, red and orange means hunger, and purple means royalty. During the reaping ceremony Effie was wearing a bright purple dress, since Effie is from the Capitol the dress shows that the Capitol is rich and really important compare to District 12. Sound effects and music really adds depth and many emotions, one great examples from the film is also in the beginning when they introduced Katniss hunting through the woods, the music makes District 12 and Katniss sounds like a place no one wants to be in. Another example is when Katniss was ready to walk out of district 12 and ready to face the capitol, there were emotional music which represents sadness and upcoming events Katniss have to face. The Hunger Games really use effective technique which persuade audience to watch and to continue watching the whole trilogy.
