Theme - Rich vs Poor, Hope + Rebellion, Struggle for power.

What Happened - Peeta + Katniss are having a Conversation about how the games might affect to them.

In The scene ' They Don't own Me ', Dialague is used to create a foreboading atmosphere. Katniss and Peeta are having a conversation about how the Upcoming games might affects them. This demonstrated  by the Quotes " I don't want them to change me," and " If I'm gonna die, I still wanna be me " spoken by peeta. These show that peeta has a sense that he is going to have to do things that he doesn't  want to have to do Like kill others.

This Makes the Audience feel sorry for Peeta because  he is likely going to die, or to kill others to stay alive. The Director Did This to make us believe Peeta will die Early and that being a Tribute isn't something to Celebrate but a loss of personal autonomy.

This work well with the dark Colours of Blacks and Grey which add to the foreboding atmosphere.This Aspect can be constrasted to when Peeta joins the Career Pack once in the Games Because they are cold hearted Killers Which is what Peeta didn't want to be.

Tempo- Speed of the Music - Fast/Slow/moderate

Dynamic - Volume - How Loud Or Quiet it is

Key - Major - Happy sound, Minor - Sad Sound.


RuesDeath: How is Music used to Create Atmosphere - Minor/Sad/Depressing/Mournful

MInor, Temp  - Slow, Dynamics - Quiet, gets Louder as Katniss raises her Salute & District 11 Riots.

Affect on Viewer - Atmosphere of remorse/intense sadness, as the Volume increase it builds the Intensity of the emotions - We see emotions are Contagious - Hope.


Rues Death: Directors Purpose: Feel Katniss's Emotions at that moment - remorse, anger, Helplessness, acceptance, Rebellion

- Symbols of the 3 Sallute is a Sign of Defiance and Anger towards the Game Maker - You will not take my Humanity, also a Symbol of a unification with who have lost loved ones to the games.

Music is Used to Create an Atmosphere of sorrow and Remorse and Rues Death scene.

In this Scene we see Katniss dealing with the slaughter of her young friend Rue. 

For example, the Tempo is Slow and The Dynamic are Quiet and The Key is Minor to Reflect the emotional rollarcoaster  Katniss is Feeling like the Music, Katniss mores Slowly and Methodically to Cover Rue's Body  in white Flowers. As she finishes, the music builds in Volume, showing the increasing intensity of her anger and grief towards the Capitol. This makes us understand the pain experienced by the families of the tribute when they are killed each year. This was clone to enable the viewer to feel the character emotions.
