Dialogue - unable to tell what she's saying and has a carer who doesn't speak english - communication barrier - binary opposition
Didn't see it coming and was unable to defend her self
'Bad' to harm disabled people - wouldn't get the same reaction with an abled person
Camera angles - eyeline match on frisby - know something bad is going to happen
- Will's point of view - his reaction
Mise - en -scene
Lighting - Natural - verisimilitude - everyone can go
Normal teen clothes - age - personality - verisimilitude - audience would resond to/ understand
Foregin person looking after a disabled person - reflecting current society - lots of foreigners - UK upset by loss of jobs - foreigners doing jobs that british people won't do - like the lady in the clip
Binary Opposition - activity playing out on screen - boys doing an able body sport (frisby and footabll), she's still and 'stuck' in one postition - xreates slight humour and sympathy as she's not able top move by her self
Sound - woshing of frisby (foley)- comical
Other stereotypes - 'gay' being bad
- 'jugasaurus rex' - males portrayed as sex addicted
In his life 1991 study, Paul Hunt identified 10 stereotypes that the media use to portray disabled people
- The disabled person as pitiable or pathetic
- An object of curiosity or violence
- Sinister or evil
- The super cripple
- As atmosphere - group of people laughing then stop when disabled person comes in
- Laughable
- Their own worse enemy
- A Burdan
- Non-sexual
- Unable to participate in daily life
Castoffs
Non stereotypical - shows disability in a positve light
The name itself is demeening, as it suggests that they're not wanted. The title represents society's and media's views.
-Narrative device of flash back - Dad messing around with the chair and falls over- makes a mockery of being disabled as it doesn't portray it as a serious condition - something to be laughed at. The fact that the family laugh suggests that it's acceptable for others to laugh - like an able person using crutches.
- Contrast between skill - dad can't use the chair well, but he can
- Basketball - able person sport - connote his past able life - father gave him the basketball after the accident - family support
- Men in locker room seem threatening - makes the disabled boy appear vulnerable
- Plonked down on the sand - can't move his chair - audience feels sympathy as he can't move - stereotypical -but then finds a way to move
- Pan shot and wide- follows him - tracks the little progress he's made, but also how har he works
- Jump cut "" temporal relations- shows the passing of time - shows his effort
- Island - dull and dreary - not nice natural light - - Island - lonely - represents his life - no one there to support him - vulnerable
- Binary opposition - home and island- protection of walls, roof contrast with the bare island
- Dialouge - 'old me new me fuck me' - stuck as a person - burden
- Sound - diagetic sound of the waves and boats - only sounds - verisimilitude - natural - stresses that he's on his own
- contrasts with shipwrecked - bright island in the carribean - dull island in the un known - island represents their life - sea tempremental and can't predict what's going to happen - society
