Something that caught my eye while watching The ballad of songbirds and snakes is the use of the low-angle shot in Coriolanus' scenes. This kind of shot can be used to convey power and strength. I think it's an interesting way to portray how Snow feels superior to everyone else.

But there are also some scenes where the opposite happens, using a high-angle shot. For example, during Lucy Gray's reaping, and when he's watching the games at the studio.

I think this contrast represents both his need and desire for control, and the realization that before the Capitol (in the form of Gaul, the games and the government) he is pretty much powerless.

It's in the last scenes of the woods where we have the most extreme low-angle shots. And I think it's funny that, as much as he puts himself above everyone and everything (on top you could say), the birds he so much despises will always be above him.

Academy Award Winners for Best Cinematography: 2005 — Robert Richardson, ASC The Aviator (2004) Directed by Martin Scorsese Aspect Ratio: 2.39 : 1

“Prior to my involvement, Marty designed a color timeline that influenced every creative department. He wanted the progression from a two-color palette to a three-strip palette to approximate the technological advances of the film industry at that time, but more importantly, he felt it would mirror the characters’ emotional evolution. The first act, which covers Hughes’s early career in Hollywood, was supposed to have Technicolor’s two-color look. With the second act, which begins after Hughes sets a speed record flying across the continental United States [in 1937] and goes with Katharine Hepburn to Connecticut, we transition to that vibrant, three-strip look that most of us associate with the glorious Technicolor years. Then, when Hughes almost dies crashing the XF-11, we were going to cut into a more contemporary look without either Technicolor process applied.” — Robert Richardson for American Cinematographer, January 2005
