G322 Tommy Jessop Extract- Representation of Disability

In this blog post, i will be looking at Tommy Jessop extract and i will writing about disability is represented in the TV Drama.

Camera Shots, Angles and movements

Disability has been shown through Camera angles, this is shown at 1:44 the dad of the disabled character and the Detective have been made to look bigger as the character is looking up to them, this makes them look more powerful than the disabled character as the disabled are normally referred to as weaker. Also at 0:35- 0:45 disability has been referred to through movement, this is when the disabled character is attempting to run away but fails as he is slow, this represents disability because disabled people mature slower and the tend to react slower than the "normal people". Also The camera crew have used a Close-up shot at 3:56 to try show the disabled characters emotion showing that he is vulnerable.
