Camera shots, movement and composition	Mid shot Handheld Camera close  to the floor High angle shot Low angle shot when he falls down the stairs Over the shoulder shot	Coming out of the shop with older brother putting his arm around his younger brother When boy is walking up to ladies Seeing the guy who fell and the girls take the tinsel on boy on the stairs looking down over on the boy	Shows that he’s physically smaller than the brother – coonotes vulnerablility The hand round his brother to reassure him – how you would treat a child – that’s how he sees him – needs to be looked after Close to the action – we feel like we’re aCTUALLY following him – verimilitude in the diagesis – unsteadyness could represent that he’s not physically steady as well the tinsel is closer to the camera than he is – bolder – when the girls steal it it creates sympathy for him it creates sympathy for him as the shot makes him look vulnerable as he’s hurt Verisimilitude – the audience feels concerened as so is looking over the lady’s shoulder to see if he is ok Looking down on him - vulnerable
Mise-en-scene	Tube Chair	Toilet When the boy is on the floor	He can’t do ‘normal’ things like going to the toilet without help – toilet is quite dark – connotes that this is one of the bad sides of his disease – embarrassing – ‘skelitons in the closet’ now higher than everyone – taking control – mid shot is also used – don’t focus on the chair – only hhim – not the stereotypical vulnerable view
Editing	Parralel Srs Full length shot on boy, then cuts to mid length Then cuts to a close up oin the lady’s face Graphic match	Two brothers,  narcoleptic boy, ambulance people Between the brothers The door of the ambulance closing and the toilet door closing	Follow sthe conventions of a medical drama – multiple things happeninginat once – re-inforces that people with disabilities need to be helped by the authories – wheter it be a bloody face or not being able to walk Shows the emotional bond – was when the diabled man was going to the toilet – also shows their ease – other brother has done it before – used to it – been helped for a while A way of going from one situation to another – symbolises parallels between the paramedics who help behind closed doors and the man with his brother – infer that he is a doctor too
