Example of a positive respresentation of the female protagonist in The Hunger Games.

Katniss is viewed with the camera from a high vantage point in contrast to the men from a low vantage point - this shows the dominance of the male gender over the females.
When see misses the first shot the men laugh and shake heir heads as if they are not surprised (stereotypical idea because she is a girl.)
The second time when she hits it perfectly she is ignored by them.
Is she needing approval of when? or is she trying to prove a point by trying to break the stereotype and prove their male view wrong. The bow at the end indicates sarcasm and disaproval and anger towards what they think.

The waitresses are also female (serving the men.)
