The first part of the diploma thesis at hand is a theoretical one on costumes in film. The different functions and aspects of clothing in films are presented. Pop culture and teen cinema are discussed, because the films The Hunger Games (2012, Gary Ross) and The Hunger Games – Catching Fire (2013, Francis Lawrence), which are analysed in the second part of the thesis, belong to those genres. The analysis’ focus lies on the films’ costumes and their references to class, power, political resistance and gender.
