The Hunger Games Workshop 3

How are costumes used to enhance the story?

What types of costumes are used in this location?



The costumes in District 12 which look very old, they are very poor and they cannot afford any clean good clothing.
In the Arena where they fight to death, they are all wearing the same outfit which isn't really as bad as what district 12 is wearing right now.
The audience who are happily watching, are wearing rich, clean and colourful different fabric type of costumes.

How do the different costumes change the feel of the story?
The different costume change, does change the story a little bit to show the people who are rich compared to the poor. From District 1 to 12, District 1 lives a way better life than District 12, because the story is showing how everyone is living.

Why has the director used these costumes?
They used these rich and weird looking outfits, instead of really clean normal looking outfit, because the director wants to show us more colourful and funky looking outfits to see the big difference between each districts from poor to rich.

Paragraph
Costumes are used effectively to show the imbalance between rich and poor, the Capitol and District 12, in Panam. For instance, this is seen in the reaping scene where the figure of Effie Trinket is juxtaposed to those of District 12 in this scene the children of District 12 are wearing dull faded simple clothes whilst Effie wears a vibrant pink outfit with an extravagant wig and over the top make-up. This makes us understand how unwealthy the people of District 12 are compared to people in the Capitol. The purpose of this is to show that life in all the Districts is not as hard as it is in District 12. Coinciding with this is the use of setting. In District 12 everything is rundown and old but with the Capitol it is new, clean and colourful. The costumes in the reaping scene can be juxtaposed to those worn by citizens of the Capitol seen by Peeta and Katniss on the train.
