The Mini-Series version of The Hunger Games with a new ethereal/ dreampop soundtrack
Intent :
This first started out as a Mockingjay fanedit, but there was so much excellent material I thought it would be a shame to cut anything from it, so I began to deconstruct the 4 films into 50 min episodes instead, with a beginning, middle, and cliffhanger ending and updating the music as I wasn't too fond of the 'Last of Us' type score during dramatic scenes.
Files are 1080p HEVC 10mbps vbr with 5.1 AAC audio.
Special Thanks : digmodification for Fanedit logo.
Tools Used : Magix Vegas 19

Episode 8
- Re-arranged opening scenes to introduce Katniss better.
Inserted Deleted scene of Prim's Nightmare and Gale explaining the Food Lottery system.
- Cut the Seneca and Caesar scene during the opening.
- Removed shot of Effie so she's introduced on the microphone first instead.
- Removed Katniss watching the games on TV, thought it ruined the surprise of
what the games are going to be like from Peetas and her POV + the audiences.
- Removed all the scenes/introduction to that forced Cato as the main villain.
- Removed all the shots of Woody Harrelson to make him sympathetic.
- Removed the announcers in a couple scenes so Katniss and the viewer discovers how to disarm the traps
- Removed Peeta's makeup plotline and Rue introduction
Episode 3:
- Removed shot of Seneca during the Dog chase, it broke up the tension.
- Episode 3, starts with the canon going off and Katniss looking for Peeta.
- Removed morning after scene
- Removed Cato speech
- Removed Effies comedy scene about gold items
- Removed Woody's character line
"Them! What about them?"
- Condensed the Party scene, cut the long walk to get to the party.
- Condensed The New Gamemaker character introduction (Phillip Seymour Hoffman)
- Removed the first meeting with Plutarch and President Snow,
their dialog was too over the top(floggings and weddings etc imo)
- Deleted scene added : Snows dialog about what the Mockingjay is and what Mutts are has been re-inserted, color corrected and music mixed
- Removed Haymitch throwing his bottle at a hologram TV.
- Removed Katniss line "...Peeta." while shes crying in the snow
Episode 4
- Effie gets right to what the Quarter Quell is instead of a comedy bit.
- Cut scene of Beetee and partner laughing like idiots.
- Deleted scene added : Fennick rope scene in the training room, with proper music mix
- Cut Katniss Bow Hologram Practice Scene (action porn), we already know shes a good hunter
it's just over-kill for her character at this point for the viewer.
- Cut Beetees intro on stage.
- Cut Katniss line about Peeta.
- Cut audio ramblings that ruin the surprise on the other side of the door
- Cut Katniss angry expression (which originally lead to a Mockingjay Part 1 teaser animation)
Episode 5
- Added on screen forced narratives for all of the Districts (this film jumps around a lot, and it's needed)
Tried to match the font that was used in the first film
- Cut opening, Episode starts with Katniss and Prim in the hospital room and then she is asked to meet with President Coin,
also cut Katniss meeting Gale in the hangar, it jumps to the Hunger Games title card then to the jet taking off, after Coin says "Sure, let her go"
- Deleted scene added : Katniss leaving District 12 with Buttercup and taking off in the hovercraft with Gale.
- Removed audio line of Katniss saying "you're alive" it works better with her just mouthing it while she's watching the TV screen.
- Deleted scene added : BeeTee trying to contact other Districts with his radio to join the rebellion.
- Trimmed President Snow seeing Katniss on the monitor, now the attack is a surprise instead of him explaining it.
- Re-arranged the speech scene, cut the propaganda video of Katniss, it cuts from Katniss crying on the battlefield to Coin introducing The Mockingjay and saying they will be showing the video later tonight in the Capitol, the message is still conveyed that she (Katniss) hates what she's doing and seeing through the cracks.
- Cut Fennick line to Katniss during Snow's speech about the propaganda piece.
Episode 6
- Bombing of District 7 starts the episode
- Deleted scene added : Cut and trimmed this scene of Cressida being very tone deaf and media-centric to the filming the bombing site.
- New music by Harold Budd and Robin Guthrie during Gales speeches.
- Condensed the Hanging Tree song at the lake, it goes on too long, now she sings a few lines and it cuts to them gloating over the
the propaganda video they edited.
- Removed the rebels singing the Hanging Tree song completely.
- Cut the shot of Katniss running to the kitchen to yell for Prim. It makes no sense for this scene to be there, as she already assumes she's with her mom in the next scene.
- Re-arranged the shots during Peeta asking for a nightlock pill and cut his line saying Katniss called him a mutt, Gale says if it gets too bad he'll shoot him himself (this ends the episode).
Episode 8
- Cut Katniss loading up the pill
- Trimmed up the two brothers dialog in the sewer
- Deleted scene added : Gale getting sewed up
- Cut Peeta and Gale talking about Katniss while shes laying 5 feet away
- Removed Epilogue and created a mid-credit scene with it instead (no dialog)
