The hunger games uses a variety of representations throughout the trailer. For example, it uses: women, men, children, foreign people, black and white. In the trailer the female character is portrayed as the most strongest candidate whereas, the male character is portrayed as weak. However, in American movies the female usually plays a role of being a lover for the main character or kidnapped by people, whereas the male plays a heroic character. A stereotypical interpretation is that foreign groups are usually seen as the evil cruel people  which is what the hunger games mainly consists of.
