Disability

Coming down the hill:

• Difference in presentation of rooms
• Plain dark colours- David (older)
• Colourful- Ben (younger)
• Sleeping- Vulnerable
• Non-digetic sounds/music
• Questions life- shows David's intelligence
• Physical difference between Ben and David
• Ben is central, showing he is central to the family/ needs most support
• The mum is comforting Ben more, calm voice. Emphasising divide
• The dad addresses David, giving him the most responsibility
• Ben usually stands behind David (for protection) shows David's not interested/doesn't care for him
• Ben seems a nuisance- putting things in David's face, crossing a boundary line
• David can doodle and still retain information, Ben needs help just to go to the toilet
• Ben is vulnerable, stands hunched
• Ben clutching onto the bus rail, shows vulnerability and fear
