Understand how symbols can be used to add meaning to a film

This weeks work is about the symbols 

The symbol I have chosen is the three finger salute that is used to represent Hope & Rebellion.
I am learning: about symbolism in the Hunger Games
This shows my learning by: I have created a paragraph about symbolism.
I am wondering: how the directors decided on what symbols to use that would make the movie unique.

The three finger salute.


In the Hunger Games symbols are used to create effect and make people engage to find more hidden symbols. The three finger salute is used to show hope and rebellion, which is between the capital and the districts. In this photo that i have used it shows us that Katniss is doing the three finger salute which then makes District 11 angry because it is done after Rue's death in the arena. After District 11 sees Katniss do this, they start a riot and throw baskets of rice and other things towards the peacekeepers (The capitals soldiers). This salute makes us feel sorry for District 11 because they have lost one of their tributes (Rue). This scene also makes us sorry for what has happened to Rue's family and friends. This shows us that Katniss had made a friend but then that friends died. Which motivates Katniss to win even more.
