Opening Image In the opening image, in the movie is a brief history of the world that we are going to see with the movie and then we cut right to an interview with Caesar Flickerman and head gamemaker Seneca Crane, discussing the games. In the book is different, is in first person and our opening image is with Katniss, waking up in her house.
Set up In the movie, they introduced the audience to the run down, katniss, her family (her warm relationship with her sister vs. the cold relationship with her mother) and Gale, her friend. Also we see the town getting ready for the big event; the reaping. In the book, it is almost the same.
