Pou Hunger Games Film Techniques

The Hunger Games uses different film techniques such as camera angles, sound effects, color, and music to create mood, emotion and meaning for the audience. The way that the camera moves can create and changes the mood of the audience right away. Cameras can watch the character from the bottom to show the character’s power over the others such as when President Snow is giving a speech to all of the tributes and the people from the capitol that are watching the tribute parade. The camera is moving up towards President Snow from under him to show that he is the person with the most power. Sound effects can signal that something dangerous is near or moving near and change our mood to the story right away. We see music as a part of the movie but when the music changes our mood changes with it. If the music changes into a sad and emotional music and the scenes is also sad and emotional, our mood will start to change. When the music of the movie stops when Prim got chosen for the Games and also when Katniss volunteered for her. It changes our mood right away because we thought Prim was not going to get chosen but after when she got chosen out from a thousand papers and the music stopped, its like our body stop moving and got more surprised. Not only those techniques that have been used, color is also another techniques that she used. Color separates the ranking or each of the places and tells us a lot about the setting. When only one place has the color grey and suddenly a person wearing bright purple appears on the area, it separates the ranking of the place that that person is arriving at and the place he/she came from such as when Effie arrived at district 12 wearing bright purple when the other people and around the place has only grey. These techniques can be very effective to change and make our mood and feelings more emotional.
