The audience are instantly drawn into this poster as the two main objects are the fiery Mockingjay pin, which is a very symbolic image throughout the Hunger Games series (This symbol is what fans would instantly recognize for The Hunger Games) and the second, protagonist Katniss Everdeen. She is also very recognizable by her iconic hairstyle, now known as the 'Katniss Braid'.
The colours that appear most in this poster are red, black and orange. We can only see Katniss's back which could make the audience assume that she is a secretive and/or protective of her identity. Identity is a major theme throughout the first film. The lavish background represents the central city of the Capitol, the capital of Panem. The blackened sky looms over the Capitol, which could be a message of foreshadowing, which contrasts to the brightness of the Capitols lights and colours. This also makes the Mockingjay stand out more symbolically in the dark sky. We can see in the audience that the Capitols residents are dressed very differently than our main character, already creating a social and class divide between them.
