secret diary of a call girl .

Throughout  the clip i have noticed many different forms of media in which the characters represent who they are .At the beginning of the clip ,the girl seemed as though she was very confident as she opened the door for the man and and his disabled son ,he in turn was very nervous as he made his dad rather uncomfortable with the situation .There was light music playing and some heavy breathing from the boy ,this tells us that he knows what is to come later on in the clip.The editing in the film is that the scenes move from one shot ,to another ,either showing what is happening in each sequence .


further into the clip the girl attempts to make him more comfortable with being were he is,the boys dad lay him on the bed as they both slightly panicked at the situation.We notice various different camera positions from the two people and the lighting .the close up on the boy as he was on the bed shows intimacy of the two characters ,also from the close up of the camera the angle was from a low point of view which tells us that the women obviously sees the boy differently .


We see disability represented through various ways in the clip but the most viewed is through lighting and camera shots ,when  the call girl was standing alone after letting the boys dad out ,she stood still for a moment as the light shone on her skin almost like a halo,after this shot,we see the boy looking quiet confused and worried.this could also relate to the fact that he is a probably unconfined person and isn't comfortable with intimacy .


One of the things that were recognised through the clip was the fact that there was a strong presence of various camera shots when the women came to sit with the boy to ask him how he was with the situation .back when the dad was helping the boy get off the wheel chair ,this kind of treatment told us how disabled people get treated .He seemed almost child like as he practically expected his dad to help him .


Further on to the clip we noticed how the call girl physically tries  to touch the boy gently .The camera again ,is from a high angle which tells us that he is seen as a much younger boy ,and that because he is disabled ,he is in the low angle perspective .This is common when watching clips of disabled people because it shows how are represented in shows just like the secret diary of a call girl ,the boy seemed very shy and vulnerable  we viewed this by the various camera shots that show us whom appears in a certain way.
