Disability

Mise en scene shows a stereotypical view of disability. The house where the family lives is a very normal house which creates a direct conrast with the disabled boy. The stereotypical view that people with disabilities are abnormal is presented in this way with the young boy with a disability being a direct contrast with the rest of the clip which exaggerates his differences making appear abnormal and inferior.

The boy who is not disabled, David, is presented as superior to the other disabled boy, Ben, which represents typical a stereotype of the inferiority of disabled people.
The character of David is shown holding a gun whereas the character of Ben is being helped to ride a bicycle this makes David seem like he dominant character of the scene. This gives the impression that Ben the disabled boy is submissive and therefore inferior to David, his more able brother.

Cinematography is also used to represent the stereotype of the inferiority of disabled people. The first shot is a birds eye view of the two brothers in their room.

The use of long takes represents disability in the character of John Locke. The focus of the scene is Locke and so the takes on him last a long time. This shows that he is dominant of the scene despite being in a wheelchair. This subverts the stereotypical image that disabled people are inferior to those who are able bodied.

The other character in the scene is represented as inferior to John Locke through short takes. When this character is shown the camera focusses on him only briefly before cutting back to Locke. This subverts the stereotypical image of disabled people being inferior where a man in a wheelchair is completely dominant of the scene and the able bodied man is barely shown.

However in contrast, an eye-line match is used to represent inferiority in the character and to show the helplessness he suffers due to his disability. Near the end of the clip, the shot cuts from his face to show he bus he is looking at drive away. This shot connotes he is powerless to stop it despite desperately wanting to. This represents a very stereotypical image of disabled people connoting that they are unable to accomplish certain tasks because of their disability.

Digetic dialogue is used in the scene to represent inferiority. The character is shown to be very angry and is shouting and screaming. Generally this would be seen as him being dominant of the scene however in the context where his shouting is being ignored by the other characters a very stereotypical image is represented. He is represented as very inferior where the other character ignores him and doesn't recognize his presence.

Non-digetic music is also used to represent the stereotypical inferiority of disabled people. The music playing is slow and high pitched with a sad feel. This creates a stereotypical image of disabled people and being pitied by those who are able bodied because they are inferior to others. The effect created is that the audiences feel sympathy for the character because of his disability .

Social class

This trailer clearly represents social class as especially as it was set in a time when class was of great importance.
The divisions between lower, middle and upper classes are clearly shown. The character of Elizabeth is presented as a lower middle class girl. Her family own a house and speak in an acceptable dialect, however her clothes are bland and dull.
This signifies that she is not that well off and cannot afford fancy clothes. If she were from upper class she would be able to afford fancy clothes with colours and expensive fabrics.
In contrast to this Mr Darcy is represented as an upper class gentleman. He wears fine suits and talks 'the queens English'. He also appears to show a condescending attitude to the lower classes and attempts not to fraternise with them.
This represents his higher social standing and connotes that he believes to be better than them.
However Mr Darcy is also represented as an unconventional member of his class.
When he decides he is in love with Elizabeth he subverts expectations.

The Tension! The DRAMA!

This video is a representation of me and my likes and dislikes. The first image is amusing to me and it has Morgan Freeman who is a good actor. In contrast to this the next pictures are of a man i consider to be one of the worst actors of all time, the governor of california. The next few images are of a few of my favorite comedians, including Dylan Moran and Hugh Dennis. The music and speech over the background is Bill bailey and Dylan Moran. The next are two pictures i find amusing because of their stupidity. Then is one of my favourite actors colin Farrell, and Jack White the guitarist and singer from the White Stripes.
