  11. The Capitol • Represents the USA today • Emphasize the capitol’s presence with camera drones: show how the people see everything

  12. Cinematic Style

  13. Cinematic Style • Overhead shots in the arena to show vulnerability: • The TV show

  14. Cinematic Style Low-angle shots on Katniss when she defies the authority of the Capitol Close-ups on Katniss: show her intense emotion, don’t allow the audience to see around her Low angle shot = power

  15. Cinematic Style Over- the-shoulder shots when she is being chased: only see what she sees: adds tension Shaky ‘hand-held’ feeling in action scenes
