What Happening- Reaping scene - 2 tributes selected to compete in the Hunger Games

-Best dressed

Describe Costumes- Light colors, neutral tones, old fashioned, simple

formal/Sunday best

Boys-  dress shirt,pants or shorts

Girls-  Hair tidy, dresses or skirts.

Colors- cold,clean,faded- washed and warn a lot.

-Older clothes mended

Effect on viewer- Think they poor because clothes are outdated.

- peacekeepers/effie in new clean outfits.

- think it is a bad living- emotionless, all the colour has been drained.

Directors Purpose- show the comparison/juxtaposed of the district + the capitol.

- shows theme "Rich vs Poor" because district doesn't have access to resources with new clothing.

Other Technique- Make-up- style=status, effies eye lashes are long + pink and her face is white. "The district has no make-up access or need for it.

(S) In the reaping scene,costume is used effectively to show the theme "Rich vs Poor". For example, the potential tributes are dressed in formal shorts,shirts and trousers. (E) Their clothes are well-warm, weathered and dull. (X) This makes us understand how the people in district 12 are poor because their best clothes are old and faded compared to the capitol Representative Effie Trinket. (X) This is done to show juxtaposed between the extreme wealth of the capitol and the poverty of those in district 12. (X) This worked with with the use of make-up is shown by Effie. She has lots of make-up on including long pink eyelashes, an extremely white foundation and pink and gold lips. This tells the viewers that she is wealthy because she can afford extravagant make-up when those in the district can barely afford clothes. This aspect can be compared to the scene when the tributes arrived off the train in the capitol. Here we see luxury and excess wealth in the costumes of the capitol citizens compared to the rags warn by Peeta and Katniss
