This shows how vulnerable he is and positions the audience to sympathise with Ben. This reinforces the stereotype of disabled people being isolated and vulnerable. https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130366980 2016-10-13 09:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130366980 https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130367406 Mise-En-Scene

From the opening shot, we can see the contrasts between both characters through the use of mise en scene. The older brother's room is portrayed as more dull but neat whereas the younger brothers half of the room is presented as colourful, messy and possibly childish, by doing this it reinforces the stereotype that disabled people are more child-minded compared to an able bodied person.  ]]> 2016-10-13 09:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130367406 https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130367487 A close up of the disabled character on the bus illustrates that he's distressed, this reinforces the stereotype that people with disabilities are vulnerable. The fact that he's alone Implies how much he depends on his brother.

A worm's eye view is used to show that David looks down on his brother who is disabled, this emphasises the fact that David (being an able person) is superior to his disabled brother.

During a shot at school there is an over the shoulder shot of David drawing, this suggests that he has skill at drawing which demonstrates the ability of an able person.]]> 2016-10-13 09:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130367487 The mise en scene within the opening shot illustrates the contrast between the disabled boy, Ben, and the able bodied brother, David. Ben's bedding and posters are colourful and vibrant emphasizing his child-like nature. On the other hand, David's side illustrates a simple plain room. This allows the viewer to understand the juxtaposition between the brothers due to their physical ability. Ben is established as a disabled person who requires more attention, space and https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130367772 2016-10-13 09:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130367772 Sound: https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130368556 non-diagetic sound- voice over shown in the beginning of the clip to share the thoughts of the character with the audience as he cannot say what he's thinking out loud.]]> 2016-10-13 09:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130368556 sound: https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130369586 diagetic sound- kids laughing in the background when the main characters are on their way to school to show the contrast of different kids.

This positions the audience to understand David's frustration in being his disabled brother's reliable source. This conforms to the stereotype of disable people being burden and dependent on others.]]> 2016-10-13 09:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/snorton_taylor/dnqjs9qyh7dt/wish/130374048
