Today, I did an entry on The Hunger Games trilogy because I've always liked the mise-en-scene in these films. Unlike most films, that I usually like for their story or their main character, these films I think lacked in these areas. However, I think they were outstanding when it came to creating a look and a style for their characters and their settings...I mean half of the story was about appearance and making Katniss look like the Mockingjay -the heroine.
There are literally hundreds of makeup artists and artists in the art department credited with working on the Hunger Games series...I was going to try and count how many on the IMDB list, but there's just way too many! This goes to show that collaboration is entirely necessary, especially on a franchise as big as The Hunger Games.
There's so many different little jobs within the arts department itself: hair stylist, dental effects design, makeup artist, conceptual designer, set designer, set decoration buyer, welder, propmaker, etc. I've been learning lately that it's all about finding your niche and then finding your niche again and again and again. In order to stand out, you've got to keep specialising, until you've become a master at something no one else can do better.
