English SEXXXY Paragraph

This week in English we had to pick a picture from the film 'The Hunger Games'. For the last two workshops we have been learning how to do SEXXY Paragraphs so this week we had to write one on our own. I choose to write about the Medium Shot and what happens in this scene.

Medium Shot

                                                                                 

In the scene where Katniss finds Peeta, She starts to try to stitch up his pants to try and cover the wound. The camera shot they used was called a Medium Shot and it is used when two people are usually having a conversation and is big enough to fit two people in. In this scene it shows the theme ‘Propaganda’. In this scene Katniss is going along the river and sees Peeta camouflage into the rocks with a wound in his leg she then helps him up and takes him somewhere safe where she can help him. The shot is also slightly above them as if someone was standing up and looking down at them.This makes the audience think that the camera could be in a tree which means that they made there way from the river to the forest. It could also make the people watching feel more powerful because from there perspective they are standing above Katniss and Peeta. The clothes that they are wearing shows more privilege than what the clothes in district 12 did. These clothes are much cleaner and seem to be new. The author has done this to show that there is a bond growing between Katniss and Peeta for example, Katniss had the chance to just kill Peeta there when he was weak but she chose to help him somewhere safe where she could tend to his leg.  Overall, this scene shows ‘Propaganda’ because at first Katniss did not really care about Peeta but overtime she has found out that she really does care about him.
