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?
