Director Purpose theme - Rich vs poor -everyone is tonally equal so personal skills become important
-Struggle for power - Tribute the power of the capitol, they have no freedom/ free will at this point
In the reaping scene costume is used effectively to show the theme 'rich vs poor; for example, the capital
tributes are dressed in formal shirts, skirts and trousers. Their clothes are well-worn, weathered and dull. This make us understand the people in District 12 are poor because their best clothes are old and faded compared to the Capitol representative Effie Trinket. this is done to show the juxtaposition bet between
the extreme wealth of the Capitol and the poverty of those in District 12.this worked well with the use of make up as show by Effie. She has lots of makeup on including long pink eyelashes, an extremely white foundation and pink and gold lips . This tell the viewer 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 where the the tributes arrive off the train in the Capitol.Here we see luxury and excess wealth in the costumes of the capitol citizens compared to the rags worn by peeta and katniss.
