Camera-
space between characters, composition and framing, does the space between characters change the portrayal of the disabled and the able?
Shot type- does the shot show low angle to make the able powerful and make the disabled weak by using high angles. or other way around?
movement of camera- shaky- weak, nervous, fragile
Editing
Prominence- who is on screen the longest? the disabled or the able
Juxtaposition- differents cuts to diffent scenes could build comparisons or differences.
pace- slow for disabled, fast for the able.
transitions- cross dissolve- disabled, weak. quick cut- able, strong,
Sound
foley- wheelchairs, crutches, breathing machines- disabled noises
running, exercise- able-bodied
music- how is it used, and when it is used, to create emotion?
is the sound off screen or on screen. off screen could imply that the disabled are'nt important enough.
Mis-en-scene
props- wheelchairs, crutches, breathing tubes,
locations- hospitals, nursing homes, everyday houses
Link back to 4 stereotypes of disability, Hero, Freak, Ugly and Victim
does this promote or disprove of the stereotype.
