Four key areas of disability

Watch the clip below and make notes on the four key areas:

• Camera shots, angles, movement and composition
• Editing
• Sound
• Mise en scene

Camera shots, angles, movement and composition

• This clip begins with an over the shoulder shot which allows us to see the reaction of others, for example the man in the van when approached by the character with the disability even though they were previous friends before his disability. 
• The clip is purely based on the character with the disability to show what is wrong with him, it shows his face and captures his facial expressions towards how people look at him.
• Also, during this clip it emphasises the way people look at him whenever they see him, it proves what the people think about others with a disability, due to their facial expressions.
• An establishing shot is shown in the first beginning of the scene, it shows they are in some sort of building site or building workplace. This is due to the equipment that is shown and also the resources which are shown throughout the shot, behind the characters or during the shot when he is walking away.

Editing

• Shot reverse shot is used when Nick and some other guy are looking at each other and having a conversation. This is used to possibly show the tension between one another and to show what they are talking about. 
• Cross-cutting is shown when Nick is at the building ground or workplace and then he is walking down a street to help a woman pick up the bags she drops.
• Fast-paced editing may be shown when Nick is walking down town, and it goes from him to other people who are surrounding him to show their facial expressions to Nick's appearance, this is also may be fast paced due to Nick being quite angry, because he made the woman scream.

Sound

• At the beginning of scene, it contains a non-diegetic sound which is the background music, which the characters can not hear as it is added in for effect.
• A sound bridge is used to go from one shot to another when the music starts when he is walking away and then it cuts to Nick being in the middle of town. This keeps it from being boring and makes each cut flow onto the next.
•  In the recruitment office there is no sound other than Nick and the recruitment officer talking, this makes the audience understand that this an important part of the episode and attracts the audience to listen. This makes all focus on Nick as he tries to change people's view on what the army is like once you are disabled, he believes that he is important and that he should be listened to.

Mise-en-scene

• To understand it is a building ground there are many resources which are shown in the background, behind the 3 characters who are talking.
• They are wearing casual clothing which proves the characters previous job was casual labour, he is wearing jeans and trainers which shows he is a relaxed character even though his disability effects him.
• The makeup used is to show his disability which covers one half of his face, this is done well to every specific detail.
• In the scene with Nick and the sergeant there is a shot that shows an army painting directly above Nick, which could possibly signify that his injury happened by being in the army.
