Music and silence are used effectively to create a foreboding atmosphere in the Reaping scene. In the reaping scene, the tributes from District 12 are selected and we see Katniss volunteer as tribute for her sister. The male tribute selected was Peeta Mellark. Silence is used when Effie draws out and reads the tributes name to make us feel like the moment is real, to make us focus and draw out the suspense. The director has done this to make the audience worry about who will be chosen. Music was used to introduce the audience to Peeta when his name is drawn. The music is predominantly minor and has a slow tempo which makes us feel sad and worried like Peeta. This is combined with close-up shots of Peeta's worried facial expression to draw the viewer in.
