To explain what's going on here for those who haven't read the book, after Katniss and Peeta are chosen to compete in the Hunger Games (representing District 12, hence the 12) they're taken to the Capitol where they train. Each group of kids from each district is put through various stations teaching them different survival and attack methods to help them in the games. Once those are completed, the Tributes, as they're called, are paraded in front of a committee to show what they've learned and assigned a number grade based on the likelihood that they could win. This image is from that part of the movie. Basically Act 2.
