The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

Representation

Each of the districts all have distinct personalities e.g. District 12 is a coal mining coomunity, District 11 is argriculture.These district supply goods and services for the Capitol,yet they are given sanctions,punishments and unfair restrictions.However, DIstrict 13 is the only exception.

This part of the Hunger Games , "The Mockingjay part 1" highly emphasizes on District 13. District 13 is a rebel region that the Capitol obliterated during the Dark days as a reminder that everyone in Panem have to obey power of the Capitol.

In the movie the mocking jay bird has a powerful connotation.Where Katniss wears the mockingly pin ( gold token) during the Games to represent District 12.

The color gold symbolizes success, achievement and triumph as well as associated with value and elegance which the color itself is linked to energy and the power of the sun.The mockingjay is a hybrid bird.It is breeder from Jabberjays which are birds that are genetically engineered by the Capitol as spies during the rebellion of District 13.They overhear conversations of the opposers and bring back information to the Capitol.Later on, the Jabberjays were fed by  District 13 and is abandoned by the Capitol and left alone in the wild.They mated with the female mocking birds and mutated into the " Mockingjay"
After generations,the Mockingjay is able to carry tunes and repeat songs, melodies and lullabies.

The Mockingjay reminds Katniss of her father ( who loved it so much) and Rue.

The pin symbolizes a creature with a life of it's own ( spirit).It breaks free of the control of the Capitol suggesting Inability of the Capitol to enforce power all over all districts.Birds symbolizes resistance and rebellion.A symbol of survival against the odds, a reminder of Capitol's mistakes making Katniss a symbol to insult the regime.

In this part 1 the Mocking Jay movie Peeta is being represented as Katniss' weakness as Katniss really cares about him.Also, Peeta is used as a weapon and a defence for the Capitol.
The way that Peeta is dressed during the interview makes him looks like he's one of the Capitol's citizen ( which is all in white ) where he is more classy and neat compared to when he was back at his District 12.

Katniss' outfit that is used to represent the rebellion against the Capitol , the "Mocking Jay" symbolizes the power of freedom.Her resistant black leathered outfit symbolizes strength and resistance.The black evokes war since it is the colour of ashes that is often created during a fire ( in wars - destructions) and also is a memorial of the coal ( from District 12 - coal mining)- that is now destroyed in this part.

The bow that she carry represents Katniss herself as the arrow and the bow is her most skilled weapon.The bow and the arrow represents goal-orientation, seeing the target , taking aim and shooting.The bow represents ambition whereas the target represents the goal.
