What I’ve chosen for my media for essay #3 are the movie posters for the third installment of The Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay pt. 1. The posters are meant to look like actual propaganda from both the capitol and the rebellion. They provoke a sense of uprising from the rebellion and compliance from the capitol. The “propaganda” from the rebels evokes pathos, creating a strong sense of anarchy and anger at being wronged by the capitol. The capitols “propaganda” has a more ethos-centered stance, portraying calmness, authority, and compliance. The posters thank the districts for their respective contributions, giving a false sense of order and mutual respect. In the viewer, it gives a bit of insight into what people in the districts felt like during the rebellion. As most forms of media are commentaries on society, some of the posters look very similar or have the same themes as those during the Holocaust and Mussolini’s rule.
