'Hunger Games': Five Best Scenes Not In The Movie

One of the biggest complaints about books being adapted into to films is the lack of scenes that are cut in order to fit the story in two and a half hours. Everyone has their favorite moments from the book that they are excited to see on the big screen, but are always disappointed when they find out they haven't been included. After I watched the film, I spoke to many people who were upset that the Avox girl was left out and felt that it was in important detail that illustrated The Capital's power over the districts. Some were also disappointed by how Katniss obtains the mockingjay pin. Here is an article that lists the five best scenes from the book that the author believes should have been included in the film. While I don't feel the first two are crucial to the overall story, I do believe that Katniss receiving bread from District 11 after Rue dies and her reaction when Peeta is taken away after they are airlifted from the games are two scenes that could have helped the film out.

How To Make The Girl on Fire In 'Hunger Games' A Reality

Although girls would probably love to be on fire the way Katniss is in the book, this is currently impossible. The technology and clothes we have right now cannot create the "story's 'synthetic fire' that poses no threat to Katniss". So how did the filmmakers do it then? With CGI of course. If the director was to actually light Jennifer's clothes on fire, they would have needed a stunt double. The article talks about the burning costumes that Katniss and Peeta wear and how they were created/done for the movie.
