Audio problem: When the group is discussing why the Careers aren't on the beach, Beetee asks what happens at midnight and Katniss replies that the lightning strikes the tree. Beetee then says "Here's what I propose", but neither his mouth or jaw moves along with the line. (01:58:25)
Audio problem: When Plutarch tell Katniss she has 10 minutes to show her skills, the audio doesn't match his mouth. This is not due to him being behind a force field, as demonstrated earlier in the film. (01:04:50)
Audio problem: When President Snow is having lunch with his granddaughter, Snow asks her when she started wearing her hair differently, and she replies. After Snow finishes this line, his granddaughter's jaw begins to mouth the word movements before she actually begins to speak. (00:24:45)
Answer: It was done by Peeta, who was artistically inclined. Peeta knew that seeing it would have an emotional effect on Katniss, making her angry over Rue's death, thus helping her not to be intimidated by the Capitol judges. It was also Peeta's defiant act against the Capitol's cruelty in taking innocent lives. Katniss made the dummy of Seneca Crane as her own defiant statement. Seneca, by stopping Katniss and Peeta from eating the poisoned berries and declaring them both victors in the previous games, saved their lives, but he was later executed for circumventing Snow's orders. Katniss is acknowledging that Seneca saved her and Peeta, losing his life in the process.
