Paul Hunt 10 stereotypes.

Pitiable and pathetic - Elephant man.

Victim of violence - Wheelchair using Blanche, victimised by her sister in what ever happened to baby Jane.

Sister of evil - Doctor No, (from James Bond) which has two false hands.

Representation of age in E.R

The young boy is represented to be weak and venerable by the use of mese-en-scene because of all the tubes and the clothing that the young boy is wearing. He is also represented to be smaller and weak because of the high angle over the shoulder shot which is looking down at him in the bed, which makes him look like a young stereotypical boy.

However the boy is also presented in a counter stereotype manner with the use of mine-en-scene because the boy is completing sudoko which is normally for older age people. He is also a counter stereotype because of the language that he uses like " muscle biopsy" which young people wouldn't normally use and how the doctor is also asking questions towards the boy which shows that he knows  more than an actual doctor. 

The sequence ends with the diegetic sound of the heart monitor which then speeds up as soon as the boy start to talk about his mother. This represents him again as vulnerable and dependent on grown ups. At this point they swap roles again because the doctor is consoling the younger boy.

The cross cutting from the hospital bed to the waiting room is an example of juxtapositioning.  The abrupt cut from the boy who has a life threatening disease but is not complaining to the young boy who is loud and screaming because he got bitten by a gerbil has the effect of making you feel more sorry for the original youth.

Old age is represented to be confused and weird in this clip as an old age w omen who is sitting in the waiting room just for the air. This is a stereotype of  old people because they are seen to be confused as this is shown in the waiting room when an old lady is asked why she is here and she replies with ' Im just hear for the fresh air'. This shows that she is weird and doesn't know what is happening because normally a Hospital isn't the nicest smelling place even when people who have injuries and diseases around you.
