Point of view shots – the camera aims to show us what the character would see. Example when we see the target just before Katniss shoots her arrow towards it.
Reaction shot – usually a close up or extreme close up so we are aware of the character’s emotions – Example when Katniss is overcome when she is interviewed by the TV host and she asks him to repeat the question because she hasn’t heard it and her embarrassment makes the studio audience warm to her.
Shot-reverse-shot – where the screen shows us the close up of two characters having a conversation, alternating between the two. Example when Katniss and Peeta are talking intimately on the window ledge prior to the games beginning.
Insert shots – where the cinema audience knows something the main character doesn’t know yet. Example when the computer generated large dogs are created and about to go in to the game or when the fire and projectiles are planned so that Katniss will be in even more danger.
