Representation

How are women represented in this trailor?
In The Hunger Games trailer, Katniss is represented as a physically strong youg female which is quite subversive as usually the males are the heroes whereas she is strong, independent and tough. She is also presented as a brave fighter, fighting along side the boys; this will surprise the audiance. She's also self sacrificing as her sister was selected to play in one of the hunger games which involves a lot of killing but she put her self out and went in the games for her. This bravery is more of a masculine quality normally in heroes of action films. However, on the other hand, she does have a slim body shape and a pretty face which is more conventional (typical) for female characters in action films.

How are men represented?
In the Hunger Games the male (Peter Mallark) is like the sidekick to the girl which is also quite subversive aas usually the men are the strong ones who take the lead. Peter is seen as quite mentally soft and nice which is usually how females are represented in films.There's also a love triangle between the hero (Katniss) and two love interests, Peter and Gale which puts the male characters in more female roles.

How is the political hierachy represented(president snow and his army)?Why?
President Snow is seen is seen as cold as cold and that synergises with his name which is President"snow"which you only see when it's cold. This name Snow also has connotations of whiteness and he is a white male and top of the hierarchy which is normal for how films represent race. There is a mixture of races taking part in the games but the black and minority characters are more likely to die. Katniss and the two boys are both white which is conventional for action heroes and does not portray a realistic view of the world.

The film represents the reality tv genre that is popular with audiences in the 21st century.This is ment to critisise TV shows of people competing against eachother all for a prise and entertainment for the people who watch it at home. Younge people are being played and being sacrificed over the shock on the evil rich ordiance which is very cruel and wicked thing to do.waisting human lifes.
