Colour is used effectively to show the use of theme of rich vs poor. this is demonstrated in the two scenes- District 12 at the start of the film and the Capitol as Katness and Peeta arrive on the train.
In District 12 a natural, dull and dark palette of greens and browns is used to create a wild atmosphere.
in the Capitol a metallic, industrial colour palette of whites, silvers and greys to create a feeling of an advanced society. the purpose of this is to show the rich vs poor in the two society's. The Capitol has more bright colours and advanced technology and buildings whereas District 12 has dull colours to show the run down buildings and over worn clothing. Combined with the use of costumes we're able to see the divide between the wealthy in the Capitol and the poor of District 12. This reminds the audience of the riot scene later in the film when the poor citizens of District 11 rebel against the rule of the Capitol.
