She looks after her sister even if it means she could die-risking her life. This is an anti-stereotype. She is caring towards her siblings. This is anti-stereotypical (teens dont really care for their siblings) and stereotypical (some teens look after their siblings). She is rebellious- she hunts, and volunteers. (This is stereotypical because teenagers are rebellious). Rebelling for survival. Hunting for food. (Caring) this suggests that her family is potentially poor.

Katniss has masculine characteristics, and gale has feminine characteristics. Gale is an optimist. He is romantic. Whereas Katniss takes on the stereotypical male role in their relationship. Make sure they remember you- stereotype of teen as they want to be valued, special, and unique. She is an icon/symbol when she 3 fingered solute, adults have here as an icon. This isnt stereotypical of teenagers.

    Primrose- she is shown as being scared and worried. This isnt stereotypical of teenagers. She needs to be comforted by her sister throughout the time in the clip that we see her. She is innocent, she always relies on Katniss. She is small blonde and weedy. Her hair is in pig tail plats. She looks very young. Almost a child. She is given lots of childlike characteristics. She is compared to Katniss throughout the film. She is the princess in this film as Katniss saves her. Katniss is her idol. Katniss and primrose are binary opposites.

He is shown as being a father figure towards Primrose .he is a hero for primrose. He also protects Katniss. He is very protective. This isnt stereotypical.

    Groups of teenagers- The groups of teenagers that you first see are all huddled together and nervous. The next time you see the teenagers they are violent and aggressive because they are in the hunger games. This is less stereotypical at the beginning but more stereotypical at the end of the trailer. They act like a pack (pack mentality) this is stereotypical. The sheep element and the violence maniac element. They fight it out in the hunger games to find the top of the pack. This is stereotypical.

    Peeta-he is shown as being almost pathetic compared to Katniss. He I first presented as being

    Adults (binary opposition) - the adults you see in the trailer are presented as being controlling,

  • scared and disturbed when he is chosen at the reaping. This isnt stereotypical of male teens. He isnt as strong willed as Katniss. He is also rebellious as he wants to die as himself instead of being controlled. He is portrayed as being small height and build. He could lack intelligence from the stereotype of blonde haired people being dumb. He is not the hero; he is styled as being a sidekick. He is creative and good at painting, not very masculine. Later on in the film he is stronger than we realised.

    calm, shocked and optimistic. The first adult we see is wearing a dress with lots of makeup. The next are mainly male, and they typically are depressed when they talk and act. They are shocked at teenagers behaviour. This is stereotypical. The woman in the start is patronising. This is stereotypical for adults reactions to teens.
