Textual analysis of disabity in The Street

camera shots:
Throughout the clip the camera shot, always seem to show the man on the side of his bad face, this is mostly seen in close up and mid shots of the man. When he mentioned about getting his old job back a close up is shown of the 2 other men, looking shocked as if they will not give him the job back; as they act awkward. When the man mentions about the cuts, the camera then shows them looking at what the other workers are doing and all of the stuff they are working with as they still all have their jobs, this shows that they may be lying about not giving his old job back and that he will not give it him because of his disability. There is also a lot of two shots during this clip this allows the audience to see the difference as he is a disabled as he has lost his hand and has a big scar on the side of his face. This is represented in the scene when he is walking up the road and the women is following behind which also shows a long shot. this may represents the fact that he doesn't like it when he is targeted about his appearance. Another camera is used when he is in the room asking to go into the army as the camera shot used is a establishing shot which emphasise why he may go there as on of the pictures on the wall shows a smoke bomb going off and lots of smoke.


editing:
The scene where the music begins to get load when he walks of from the women and through the busy town is a key bit of editing as the music overlaps in the scenes and he walks at the pace of the music, this could also represent his mood as he is upset after what has just occurred with the women and he is now walking through a busy town with everyone looking. As the man is walking up the street and goes to help out the women a quick cut shout is used when, she screams at the mans and then the next shot is a direct close up of the man and his scar on his face. Also as then they are running up the street it shows a behind view and then changes to a front view this shows represents a reaction shot and the fact that there is a change in perspective as the shout shows the man walking off from her and in the end it shows the women coming after him which then suggest that as he is disabled he should be the one that is chased and looked after as he is not cable himself. as he is walking through the town cut shots are used to shows peoples reactions of him and by showing this a number of times relates to the fact that he is different and also he gets the same reaction of everyone, which shows that people see him the same, in comparison to all the other people in the town that are all different.

sound:

The main bit of sound during the clip that represents the way he feels about his disability and how he reacts to other people commenting. As he walks of from the women the sound goes really loud and takes over the sound of any action such as walking and the noise of the crowd of people in the city centre, this could represent the fact that he has blocked everything out and zoned out from everything because as he is walking through the city centre people are looking and staring at him, but in this scene he does not seem to care about this, where as he did before. The music is also at a fast pace and represents the pace that he is walking at and as it is face it also emphasises tat he is angry and upset. The sound through the scene build up tension as the music does get louder and louder, which then makes the audience more anxious for what is going to happen next or what he is going to do as he looks angry and hurt.
mise en scene:
The clip shows that the class of the man may be quite low as this is shown in the scene with the women, the shot show a terraced street; also the fact the women has got a taxi back from the shops shows that she may be unable to afford a car. As the man is also walking down this street shows that he lives around the area as he does know the woman which could also empathise the fact why he wants his old jobs back so much because he needs money in order to afford things for himself, But since his accident he is unable to get his job back. The man is also represented as a being different; as he has a big scar over his face, which makes people look at him more and in a strange way. This is shown when he is walking down the street through the busy town; the shots of the camera show this by showing them look at him in a strange way, which is also emphasised with the woman as she screams when she sees him. Also the place at the start of the scene doesn't seem the nicest place and when he says that the company is struggling for money could suggest that they don't have a lot of money which could be the reason why the place doesn't look very nice and unsafe.
