Cinematic Style
![Page 13: The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins Proposed Film Adaptation By Emily Buckley.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551674785503469d698b5926/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cinematic Style
• Overhead shots in the arena to show vulnerability:
• The TV show
![Page 14: The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins Proposed Film Adaptation By Emily Buckley.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551674785503469d698b5926/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
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
![Page 15: The Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins Proposed Film Adaptation By Emily Buckley.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/551674785503469d698b5926/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
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
