Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen – Jennifer Lawrence

Costumes:Mesh looking clothing

Protective suitLooks like a wetsuitCostume is there to distinguish who is

playing in what team. Jennifer’s hair is put in a basic plait hung on

the side of her shoulder.

Location:This is probably filmed in a studio and not on

location. Lawrence is in the

booth, waiting to start playing the games.

Lighting: There is lighting at the top of her head as she

reaches the playing field. This suggests

that the game directors are very

powerful. It is very dark lighting beneath her when she

watches Cinna get taken away.

Props:In this scene her

mocking jay badge is shown.

Costumes: Katniss is wearing a

plain, what looks like playsuit.

It also has a belt on it too. This suggest they aren’t too poor as they can afford to buy and make

clothes.

Location: This looks as if it is

filmed in a town and definitely on location and not

studio. It is very run down and looks cold and seems to be winter from the bare trees.

Lighting:The use of natural lighting, suggests

that it is not artificial and that they are outside

most of the time.

Props:They have used extra

characters as the guards who are in charge of everyone.

They hold weapons and

keep everyone in order, such as guns and

bats.

Costumes:Jennifer is seen in a long, frilled, white

gown. This suggests that she

has a good designer and

seems rich in the games.

She is shown with a lot of makeup on

her face and jewellery.

Location:This is in an arena, for example, something

like the O2. This suggests that the

government in this area of the movie is very

powerful and has a lot of money. In the movie,

they are called the ‘Capital’.

Lighting:The lighting is very

bright and white, which a dark coloured

background. The light is directly shone on

Jennifer’s character. This suggests that the she is pure and that the darker

background could be evil. This could be

because they have to either vote for her or

against her.

Props:They have the extras playing as the small

characters and as the audience. There is the

extra dress that appears too.

Costumes:Jennifer’s character is in a simple dark blue to black gilet,

with a ruffled neckline. Her

makeup is very simple yet you can tell there is a dark shade of blue. Her

hair is half done up, either pinned or tied

up at the back.

Location:It looks like a run down law court. You can tell it’s

run down because of the way it looks, for

example, the dirty walls and

the simple brickwork.

Lighting:Very simple and

plain, nothing too bright or dark, but

neutral.

Props:Microphone which was

used for when Katniss and

Peeta spoke to the district.

21 Jumpstreet Jenko – Channing Tatum

Costumes:Police outfit, giving him authority.

Walkie Talkie – talk to his fellow police partner (Jonah Hill).

It looks like he is wearing a white vest top beneath his police shirt.

Location:This scene is in an

abandoned church. As he is undercover, this gives definitely wont make anyone intrude.

Also suggests that there isn’t a lot of

money that has been funded.

Lighting:The lighting is quite normal, as this is a

comedy it isn’t going to be dark and eerie,

because it isn’t a thriller. However it

looks quite dull because they are in a

quiet space which hasn’t been re-

renovated.

Props:The costume, as he

doesn’t wear it the whole time.

Costumes:Tatum is wearing a normal t-shirt with

a hoodie with shoulder sleeves.

He also has a rucksack, which is also counted as a

prop.

Location: This looks like a typical American

school parking lot. It is outside in the

open.

Lighting:It looks as if all the

lighting is natural, as it isn’t to washy on the face and doesn’t look

artificial. It is quite light in the

background as in the foreground too.

Props:There are a lot of extras because they need to be

the rest of the school pupils. His bag is a prop, because in this scene it isn’t seen to be used.

Costumes:He is shown to be in a teenage clothing so he can blend in with the rest of the school and so the headteacher

and other teachers do not suspect anything. He is wearing a plain

grey hoodie and a yellow printed shirt.

Location:It looks like he is

sitting in an office, perhaps a teacher’s office, but I think it is in his boss’ office.

This is a guess because of the files

behind him.

Lighting:I think it is quite

obvious it is artificial lighting.

This is projected on his face so he is

visual to us. Props:The props in this

scene are the files and work

behind the characters. This

is to fill the space. There is also a desk to

make it look like a real office.

Costumes:Channing is shown with a white suit

where he wears this to his “prom”. It has a

black slick sides on the inside, and it looks like he is

wearing a black belt. Down the side of his

trousers is a long black line.

Location:This looks like it is an upper class

hotel room, however it has

been ruined from the fight between him

and the criminals.

Lighting:The lighting is very dim and dull, and

looks like a normal room lighting. This suggests that they

could be using studio lights, as well as the

ones in the background.

Props:The props in this film is the TV, the light in the background, and

the sofa in the middle, which has used as a barrier – suggests the bad

from the good. The confetti type paper

also is a prop.

Gone Girl Rosamund Pike – Amy Dunne

Costumes:Pike is seen with a simple black and white striped

top at a party. Her hair is done up in a bun at the back, and her makeup is

simple.

Location:The location is in

someone’s house as it looks like a party.

Lighting:The lighting in this is quite dark, maybe using it to suggest what may happen

later in the future of the film.

Props:The extras in the

background and the things to make it

look like a home, for example what looks like a cabinet in the background, and the

wine glass the woman is holding in

the background.

Costumes:Pike is wearing a

simple grey t-shirt and is seen to be

dying her hair blonde. In this

scene she is not wearing any

makeup, and she has cut her hair.

Location:This looks like a

small public bathroom, as it

doesn't look well looked after and is

very small and dingy. It is very

dark, which could be in connection

with her as she has run away.

Lighting:It is quite dark

because it is small and looks like it is

using the amount of natural lighting

from the window behind her and low

studio lights. Props:She is seen with herself dying her

hair, it looks like it is blonde. She has also used scissors

in this scene.

Costumes:Pike is wearing a simple black strappy top as she is in bed trying to sleep.

Location:In bed, in her house. It is very dark as it is

night time.

Lighting:It is very dark,

however it is also light in her room, suggesting it is

early, or it is summer. This could suggest

what is happening later. Props:

The bed sheets, and pillow and the bed

to make it look like a real bedroom, there may not be other stuff in the room.

Costumes:Pike is wearing what

looks a like a thick, black winter trench coat with

buttons down the middle and a long turtle neck.

Location:This has been shot in a back alley as it is very

dark and looks very industrialised with

nothing much there. I can also take a guess

that it is the back end of a shop because of the writing on the back of what looks like a door.

Lighting:It is very dark, as it is night time. Most of the stills I have of Amy Dunne are very dark, which

could suggest evil?

Props:The people in

the background of this scene

doing deliveries,

possibly for a shop?
