representation of disabilty

stereotypes:
The media continue to enforce disability stereotypes portraying disabled individuals in a negative un-empowering way. 
In his 1991 study, Paul Hunt identified 10 stereotypes that the media use to portray disabled people:

1. The disabled person as pitiable or pathetic
2. An object of curiosity or violence
3. Sinister or evil
4. The super cripple
5. As atmosphere
6. Laughable
7. His/her own worst enemy
8. As a burden
9. As Non-sexual
10. Being unable to participate in daily life

The media's tends represent disabled people in a vulnerable and weak way by showing that they don't have much control of their actions and they may not be able to do certain thing a abled body person is able to do e.g.. walk. In TV dramas a lot of the characters are often ignored and seen as an outcast as they are not able and behave in the way the majority of the cast can; therefore not taking part in the same activities and restricting of what they are able to do.

 camera shots:
When the women firsts opens the door a long shot is used of the door way , and the boy in the wheel chair is the only person visible; and the only thing that the audience can see of the other 2 characters is their leg which emphasise the fact that he is lower down. Then a high angle shot is used during this clip at the start when she opens the door which shows the characters vulnerability as he is made out to look even smaller and the other characters look down on him which shows that he lacks power.  A mid shot is used during the clip to emphasise the fact that he is in a wheel chair and the other character is his carer, this shows that he needs someone to help him all the time and he does need to be in someone's care because he then gets passed to the girl. also there is a long shot when he gets put into his bed.


editing:
The editing in this clip is that it cuts the clips short to make the clip flow better, for example when she is putting the boy into her bed and then goes onto the scene when the carer is in the car.


sound;
There is not a lot of sound in this clip as the clip comes across as quite sensitive as it looks like this is one of his first times in bed with a girl so it nervous. Also when he firsts knocks onto the door where she lives she gives a awkward silence when seeing him, and throughout of the clip he comes across as a quite person.


mise en scene:
The boy in the clip is disabled, he is seen to have no control over his own body, as his carer puts him in the bed and then the girls takes off his clothes for him. Also the surrounding of the house comes across nice and it is clear to see it will only be them to in the house, and its obviously it is her bedroom there in because of the pink surroundings.
