Theme - Rich vs Poor, Hope & Rebellion, Struggle for power

What happened - Peeta & Katniss are having a conversation about how the games might affect them

Scene - " They Don't Own Me"

In the scene "They don't own me", dialogue is used to create a foreboding atmosphere. Katniss and Peeta are having a conversation about how the upcoming games might affect them. This is demonstrated by the quotes " I don't want them to change me", and " If I'm gonna die, Still wanna be me" spoken by Peeta. This shows that Peeta has a scene that he is going to have to do things that he doesn't want 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 worked well with the dark colours of black greys which add to the foreboding atmosphere. This aspect can be contracted to when Peeta joins the career Pack one the games because they are cold-hearted killers which is what Peeta didn't want to be.
