The Hunger Games technique Harry

The Hunger Games uses different filming techniques such as camera angles, sound effect, color and music to create mood, emotion and meaning to make the characters connect to you. Different angles effects the different emotions of the character like when Katniss is being filmed from a high angle above the shoulder, you can see that Katniss has a serious face when she’s talking to mom and she’s not afraid what she’s saying to her mom. Not only it gives emotions, it helps you see the characters body image and what type of person they are. Sound effect plays a big role in changing the emotions of the situation in the story because as you hear each footsteps, you feel how each walk is heavy and how intense it is while explosion sounds gives us a surprised or shock feeling. Sometimes sounds effects also gives you a better Idea of the situation , if the character emotion is tired, sad or happy. If the character is tired, the character might breathe more heavily and if we can hear that sound effect, it will be another way to show the characters feelings without talking or conversations. People usually believes what they see from their eye more than from their ears, so colors plays a big role for visuals. For example: When the movie suddenly turn black and white, we can relate it as flashback or a very old time which can tell people instantly about the setting and time. However if all of these techniques are combined, we will get a good movie that can show how appealing the characters in the movie are to us. These techniques is what made Hunger Game a great movie.
