Director of Photography - Tom Stern
Tom Stern was the director of photography for the movie The Hunger Games. We chose to do this scene because it is a great example of the entire movie because everyone seems to want to kill Katniss and will try to do it through killing Peeta. These screenshots are great because it shows the helplessness Peeta has because he is being strangled by Cato which exemplifies the whole movie because everyone is so much stronger than Peeta.
Tom Stern was in charge of photography for the movie and was also the gaffer for the movie. For this scene, Tom chooses to break up the two people fighting and get up close to each of them to show their true emotions. Katniss can be see as weak and helpless because of the look on her face and the emotion the camera captures just perfectly fits the scene. Cato and Peeta are captured on the camera as being helpless as well. Peeta is cut off at the neck and the bottom of his head to make it seem like he doesn't matter, because he really doesn't and just gets in the way throughout the movie. The top picture is also another great use of photography and lighting together. The lighting is set up so you will look directly where the action is happening and your eye will not be drawn to anything else. Its set up this way by creating a spotlight effect and dimming out the background to almost black. The camera is used to show the entire battle because it is a great example of how everyone attacked each other throughout the movie.
