The hunger games poster shows Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) centre with her back turned to the audience. Her centre possition suggests she is the lead charector in the film as she is the main focus of the poster. A long shot has been used, although it's showing Katniss from the waist up they have included her surroundings. The makes Katniss appear isolated and alone which relates to the story line of the film. She is standing side on which is how she stand when shooting her arrow suggesting she is ready.
On either side of her are these banners with Katniss and Peeta's faces on. This and the crowd of people and theatrical lighting implyies they both have a celebrity status. This celebrity culture and status appeals to there target audeince of teenage girls. Peeta and Katniss on either side are on banners all looking up at this symbol highlighting the importance of but also they seem unaware of how important they are. The mocking jay on fire connotes danger and power, as this is the symbol for Katniss it also makes her appear this way which relates to the next few books. The sky being on fire makes it appear as if the mocking jay flames are spreading which reflects how Katniss becomes an icon and she is slowly talking over leading to the capital re-enterring her into the hunger games in the next movie.
At the top of the poster the text says 'the world will be watching' this again enforces the celebrity culture they are a part of. The banners of the two could also be responding to the text as both look fearful. We can tell from the poster the two of them are the lead characters but more so Katniss as she also takes a place in the centre. It resembles roman times where people would be places in arena to fight, the people sitting in the stands on the side cheering suggests how this is entertainment for them. She is geared up ready to fight for her life as the people watch. She is also kept away from the people in the capital as they all have a barrier in front of them with bright lights making a lined up jail cell look to it. This suggest they are from two different cultures and the people in the arena in a way are fighting which will win their approval.
