Section A - Disability



This extract portrays Disability in a negative way. In the wide shot of the woman in the wheelchair after she gets hit by the frisbee, she is shown as weak and fragile which not all disabled people are. Also, the fact that she has a minder with her lives up to the theory of disabled people needing someone there at all times and being incapable of looking after themselves causing them to lose independence and freedom.



This clip however shows Disability in a positive way. Due to Craig Moon having down syndrome, he still comes across as confident when meeting his siblings for the first time in the mid shot as appose to people with disabilities having low self esteem. He seems happy in his own skin evidently by the constant smile on his face throughout the clip.
