2. Don't Ignore The Little Things
Some of the smallest things can become the most important to a viewer's enjoyment. You know the kind of thing: scenes that get you to sit up and stop munching on the the popcorn. It's those moments that seem as if they have been transcribed directly from the author's imagination to the screen. Moments that mark a film as brilliant, which seemed a little lacking in The Hunger Games. Take, for instance, the Reaping. It wasn't how I imagined it at all. Though I enjoyed the video clip style introduction to the events, I felt like more could have been made of it: the opening scenes of the film took place that same morning, but felt so detached from events. This one may be a matter of personal opinion, but I would have to say that one of the most important things to remember for Catching Fire is that those vital scenes are rendered close to the way they occurred in the book.
