Disability essay.

The clip coming down the mountain is trying to show the difference between being "normal" and having a disability.

The characters costumes in the clip coming down the mountain are average teenagers clothing. The characters wear quite cheap looking clothing, possibly because the family don't have much money. The clothing is casual, with both teenagers wearing t-shirts and jeans. I think both of the teenagers are wearing the same sort of clothing to show the audience that underneath they're both the same, even though one will be looked at differently due to having a disability. 

The clip shows how the boy with the disability is shown as a victim. You can see that his older bother sort of looks on him as a burden, I can see this from his dialogue.
"I planned to kill him" this shows he doesn't care much for his brother.
"I need a poo."...."Go help your brother." This shows that the older son is needed to help and support his brother. You can see in the clip that he's not happy about it and is annoyed that his brother has a disability.

With in the clip there are different camera shots, to show the audience different things about the characters.
The is a close up shot at the beginning to show the boy sleeping. I think this shot was shown as a close up to show the audience he's different from his brother and also to show he's disabled.
There are also a few close up shots on the older brothers face to show annoyance.

Coming down the mountain showed a variety of different locations, including a bedroom, bus stop and school. Each different location explaining a bit more about both of the teenagers personalities. I felt the most important location in the clip was the holiday camp in Devon.
This showed the family had to return to the camp as things there were enjoyed being done over and over again. This showed the older brother as a hero, as he didn't moan like normal and just went along with what his brother enjoys.
