The Representation of Disability in 'Coming Down The Mountain'

One way in which disability is shown in this clip with the use of a wide angle shot showing the two brothers in a camp sight. The wide shot shows you the  brothers standing together with the younger one slightly tilted and that his clothes are too small for him which indicates that he might have a disability.

Disability is stereotyped in this clip through the use of shot reverse shot which shows he contrast between the two brothers. Another way how disability is shown is through the use of mise-en-scene and how the younger brother is very cheeky in this case he moves his eye brows up and down.

One way in which the editing can represent disability is through use of long takes and how the power has changed roles which causes the audience to feel uncomfortable as of now the younger brother has started to question the older brother in why he lied about sleeping with a girl.

Through the use off lighting the older brother is only half lit from the fire whilst the rest of his body/ face is in shadows whereas the younger brother is fully lit and you are able to see him clearly. This can show that they both have different personality's. This can also show that the older brother is trying to hide something that he wants to keep secret from people.

Another way in which down syndrome is represented in this clip is through the use of mise-en-scene. The younger brother is seen to cheeky through the use of his facial expressions in which he moves up and down suggesting something to his older bother. This represents people to have down syndrome to not know expressions of other people which could come across to be uncomfortable.
