Katniss and Peeta are waiting to be evaluated by the game makers in a dark, prison-like room. The setting uses lighting, metal bars, and spotlights to create an interrogative atmosphere and emphasize that Katniss feels confined and trapped. Their matching uniforms suggest they have to follow rules that limit their power. Seneca Crane watches menacingly in red and black, symbolizing his threat. The empty sound when Katniss hits her target, and the game makers' joking, show they are not taking the evaluation seriously.

1. The hunger games
‘’Shoot straight’’ scene analysis
In this scene Katniss and Peeta are both waiting to be seen by the game
makers. The game makers choose who are most likely to do well in the
hunger games which help them collect sponsors.

2. Setting
• -The lighting is very dark and dim and may be seen to some people as quite
prison like.
• -Katniss has a dark lit face when she walks and then it appears to be light. This
may connote that she has two personalities or an evil side as well as a nice
side
• -The dark blue room they're sitting in gives a lot more of a scared, confined feel
to it.
• -The use of the metal bars that shut behind Katniss also ties in with the way it's
like a prison because it's like she’s trapped. This may also foreshadow how she
acts/ does in the hunger games later on in the film.
- The spotlights above Katniss makes it seem very interrogative and on the spot,
almost as if she's in a police station.

3. Color and costume
-The way Katniss and Peeta are in
matching uniform may show that they have
to follow certain rules, making them seem
less powerful.
-Katniss’ costume makes her seem very
broad shouldered and a little flat chested.
This may suggest that her feminism has
been taken away and she's becoming a lot
more manly.
-Seneca Crane- the way he’s all in red and
black may symbolize his evilness and he’s
always first to look at katniss, this may
show he’s a threat towards katniss too.

4. sound
• Sound-
• -The empty sound when the arrow hits the
target shows that nobody is really listening or
paying attention, this creates a mood in the
room and a tension between Katniss and the
council
• When they’re talking, they’re all very jokey
and it shows they aren’t really taking any real
attention to what’s happening in the scene.
