Shots within a film clip

At the start of this clip long shots are used to show the different skills of each competitor and makes the audience see the power they have over Katniss (0.04) who is being filmed using a close up shot of just her face and shoulders to make her appear weaker and defenceless. The director has chosen a long shot of the competitors showing of their skills because it makes the scene more dramatic and quick pace being able to switch from each angle (such as the first competitor using the knife with mannequins surrounded around him) and between the competitor's to make it seem more chaotic.
Next, a tilt shot is used to follow from Katniss' face to her hands (0.14) to show what she is doing; the director has chosen this to slow down the pace and therefore make her activity seem less important/less dangerous.
At 0.23 an over the shoulder shot is used to show what the tributes watching can see of the competitor throwing knifes. This has been used to make the competitor and activity seem more daunting to the others waiting. This makes the audience feel like this character has or is going to have a lot of power within the story as she has hit every target even with an audience.
An extreme close up is used at 0.34 to show Peeta's emotions and make him appear weak in comparison to the group laughing at him after, which are filmed at a long shot.
The creators of the games (the people who will rank the tributes) are viewed from a low camera angle (0.45) to show how powerful they are and to show the audience that they are in control of the training but are not a part of it.
A tracking shot is used at 1.01 to follow Peeta across the training room to where he picks up an object. The director has used this to show how nervous he is about what Katniss has advised him to do, he hesitantly walks towards it before waiting to throw it. If the director had just shown him getting up and then throwing the object the audience would not have been able to see his hesitation and the quick switch may have made him appear confident.
The extreme long shot used at 1.27 makes the rest of the tributes appear small and powerless now after Peeta has shown off what he can do. The director has used it before zooming in on their faces  to show how surprised they would have been and how they would have been taken aback by the show of strength after Peeta had fallen not long before.
The power returns to Peeta after this event and is shown by the low angle shot at 1.31. It shows the audience that Peeta was not to be underestimated and that he has regained the power after appearing weak at 0.34. The director has used this to foreshadow future events within the film.




Camera shots/movement:
To start this scene (0.01) a high angled shot is used to view the students so they seem like they are weak and have no power compared to the teacher which is then backed up by the close up of the students (0.05) to show their emotions and how unhappy they are about the test, this is used with a track shot to move between them.
A low angled shot (0.09) is used to show the teacher and show how much power she has over the students that are taking the test, it's also used as a point of view shot as it is what one of the students can see of the teacher. This point of view shot then zooms in on the teacher (0.16) to show her emotions and how smug she is that she got the students to do the test that no other teacher believed she should do. The zoom towards her face during this (0.21) shows the audience how nervous she is about this going wrong because of how important it is for her to prove everyone wrong. A tracking shot is then used to follow the teacher across the hall and to the door where she finds a spell (0.34).
There is a close up of the teacher when she first comes face to face with the spell to show her surprised and irritated face which then changes to a long shot of the spell entering the great hall. A crane shot is used 1.16 to switch from the top of the building to the bottom where the rest of the characters are.
Music:
At the start of this scene the only sound the audience can hear is of the flames burning which makes it more intimidating for the students who are taking the exam. Then a sound effect of footsteps is inserted which begin to get louder and so a tracking shot is used to follow the teacher to the door to investigate what is going on which is when a spell is introduced and the sound of this disturbs the students. At 1.06 the atmosphere changes as the music gets louder and the pace becomes quicker; the two wizards enter the hall and make the exam papers fly into the air which is followed by the cheering of the students. The contrasting music and volume here shows the difference between the power the teacher has at the start and at the end of the clip as she can no longer control them.
Editing:
The editing used in this scene is quite straight forward, switching from one shot to another, until the spell appears. Special effects are then used to display fireworks and different spells across the great hall and to make it suddenly appear more chaotic. This is then combined with different close ups of the individual characters experiencing what has just happened, the bewildered teacher watching as everything goes wrong and the two wizards who are causing the chaos.
Mise en-scene:
The teacher in this scene is dressed in formal clothing that makes her appear as superior to the students who are all easily identical in their uniform. The teacher stands straight and on a raised platform which also helps to show her power over the students who are positioned behind desks starring up at her. When the two wizards enter they hold the power of the teacher who not only has moved from her position over the students but has now been overthrown by the wizards who have interrupted the test and the students who have abandoned their work.


Camera shots/movement:
The first shot of this scene is an establishing shot which is used to show how awkward/nervous Stacey feels stood alone waiting to meet someone she hasn't before, This then switches to a point of view shot as Gavin points her out to his friend Smithy, this shot zooms in on Stacey to show that Smithy and Gavin are both looking at her and they are more familiar now with her than they were before they came. An arc shot is used to go from viewing Gavin and Smithy to seeing Stacey and her first reaction to meeting the boys which is then filmed at a mid shot to show the characters getting to know each other. A close up of Nessa is used when she is first introduced to Smithy to show her emotions and how she clearly dislikes him even though they have just met. A panning shot is used to switch from Nessa with the two slices of pizza to handing one over to Smithy which makes the audience feel like it was a reluctant decision and as he is being kept at an arms length things are still awkward between them. This is confirmed by the closing shot as an extreme long shot is used to film the two walk off but Nessa walking behind and keeping her distance from Smithy.
Music:
A song is overlapped at the start of this scene as it had been used during the previous, travelling shots to make them more interesting for the audience and as to combine the different shots of Stacey and Gavin getting ready for the meet up as they would fit together better than the different natural sounds. From here the music changes to natural sounds such as the waterfall behind them and the dialect. At the end of the clip the music from the upcoming scene in the club is played to ease the transition between scenes.
Editing:
The editing in these clips is kept simple as most of the conversation is natural and in one place so the clips are just placed one after the other without any special effects.
Mise en scene:
The characters are represented very differently in this scene, from Stacey and Nessa being dressed more for the club than Gavin and Smithy who arrive in a simple top and jeans. At the start of the scene both main characters appear to be very nervous, from Stacey standing on her own looking around to Gavin pausing to sort his hair. When they first meet this is continued by them overlapping in conversation and then Stacey making conversation about their items of clothing being from the same place. The awkwardness between Smithy and Nessa is clear from the beginning and when she arrives there are multiple pauses in conversation and silences to where she offers Smithy pizza and instead of thanking her he says "nice one" and walks away to catch up with the others rather than stay with her.
