We get a few medium shots of Katniss
A close-up shot of Katniss on stage
Close up shots of the three-finger salute
A mid shot of Peeta in the crowd
as well as a close up on his face.
A Low Angle looking up at Katniss
And a long shot and dutch tilt from when Katniss yells out that she volunteers for her sister

Sexxy Paragraph

Statement

In the Reaping scene in The Hunger Games, the idea of Rich v Poor is explained through the use of wide shots and close-ups. The comparison between the wealth of the Capitol, represented by Effie, and the poorness of District 12 is seen in the wide shot of the people gathered at the reaping. A close-up shot of Effie reveals quality, colourful make-up and costume. The wide shot of the crowd is used to show that they are forced to be there. This wide shot also shows a lack of colour in the population of District 12's material and costume to show they are poor.
