We noticed that the working class speaks in a far less formal way than the ruling class while also wearing more simple and worn down clothing. The ruling class looked clean, healthy, well put together while the working class was the opposite. We also noticed a lot of long focal lengths, dark colours, handheld camera, and fast-paced cutting which makes the movie look like some kind of newscast.

another thing we noticed was the colours of the shots in the town were very greyish and cold which added to the gloomy, depressing atmosphere the working class live in

The working class in The Hunger Games is anyone who doesn't live in the capitol. For example: Katniss, Primrose, Peeta, Gale, etc.

Life for the working class in the film is very strenuous and labour inducing. For example, Katniss, who provides food for herself and her family all on her own is shocked to even see a deer and spends presumably hours hunting it, which tells us how desperate she is.

The depiction of the working class in The Hunger Games connects with Marx and Engel's concepts of the Ruling Class in the clear power dynamic between the capitol (the ruling class) and the districts (the working class) and how the capitol wears down the districts morale with harsh punishments and threats if they don't play by the rules that they want.

They seem disgusted and feel superior when interacting with the "working class".
- Subtle looks of disgust from Effie while in district 12 and while interacting with Peeta and Katnis

Directly relates to "The Ruling Class" concept. The Capitol controls and rules over everything in the districts.

The concept of The Ruling Class is expressed in The Hunger Games on how the rulers ignore the living conditions of their population. In the film, we see the families basically living in poverty with no leader apart from the Capitol. The Capitol is a high royalty organization that poorly houses "volunteers" for a part in their show. There's no freedom and no access to technology, but the community must express loyalty and honour to their superiors.

1. in the readings it is mentioned that "the class which is ruling the material force of society, is at the same time ruling its intellectual force."  In the first 25 minutes of the Hunger Games we can see that the ruling class has premium access to technology, transportation vehicles, blood collecting devices, specially designed suits, etc. And we see an obvious superiority since the lower class has almost no access to technology, they have normal clothes and food.

In the reading it is also mentioned that the ruling class "determines the extent and the compass of an epoch". Another word for epoch is era and in the movie we see how the higher power criticized war and how for decades we used to kill in mass, and the thinkers of their society came up with The Hunger Games as a solution to world peace and forced their ideologies on the people. Hence the ruling class' ideas shaped the new era the world had entered in.

#2 Mass media in hunger games is featured by TV, especially by TV show where Caesar and Seneca discuss a game, it's history etc. Also the game is being broadcasted so everyone in Panem takes a part in a game by watching, which adds more interest and creates demands and views.
