Within the 2012 film 'The Hunger Games' there are several sci-fi conventions present. The use of modern and new technology is a frequently used sci-fi convention. The handheld scanning machine used for recognising a person from their blood is a never before seen device that has been 'invented' for the purpose of this movie. This use of modern technology is iconic to the sci-fi genre and by using this machine the audiences are engaged by what this device is capable of. The uncertainty of it's power, and what other technology will feature, will draw in viewers.
The use of quick tracking shots throughout the crowds of people create a speedy and intense introduction to develop excitement and tension regarding what is going to occur. The audience gets a sense of anxiety and a feeling of the unknown as these quick shots generate the illusion of eyes darting around.
