Disability

In the scene the director uses cinemaatagraphy to differeianate the difference between the disable person and the able persons. This is shown as he uses high angle which shows inferiority which shows that the able person is dominant over the Bobby. This is shown in shot on Bobby the disabled guy when they show a mid shot showing the three guys Bobby,Dean and Sam.another high angle was shown on Bobby in the over the shoulder shot while a low angle on Dean in the scene where the two was talking. this again shows that the disable person is inferior, this is subverting to a typical disabled person as they are usually represented as a weak person.

The direstor uses midshot which ususally shows a person's head to waist and a close up which allows us to focus on the characters face. This is shown when Dean and Bobby was talking and Dean was about to leave a mid shot was used on Dean while a close was used on Bobby. This connotes that Bobby was our main focus as he was dominating this scene, here he is subverting a our expectation as he is represented as the stronger one here.

The director uses editing techniques represent disability such as pace of the shots. This is how face and slow a shot is shown on screen. This is shown in the dialogue with Bobby and Dean and the clip where the hree of them were talking. there were longer takes on Bobby than the rest of the characters this connotes that Bobby is more important and he's dominating the scene so we could focus on him which again he's subverting from a typical disabled person. However we could say that he is conforming as the longer takes could mean that he's weak showing he is disabled he need's more attention than of a abled person.

Social class

The Director uses cinematography to represent social class. He uses a high and low angel to show the difference in social class. This is shown when Maria and the guy was having diegetic dialogue and a low angle was shown on they guy and then and high angle was shown on Maria in the over the shoulder shot. It show that they guy is of an higher class than Maria. Even though a low angle is on Maria she submerges from a typically working class.
He also uses the rule of thirds. He uses this so we focus on the woman in the middle. this is shown when Maria was cleaning the rooom and the two lady was at the front of her and she was in the middle. the two ladies were placed at the front to show they are more powerful than of Maria who as no power. which here she Maria is conforming to typical working class as we see her working.
The director uses sound to represent the difference in social class. He uses the difference in tone of voice . This is shown in the diegetic dialogue between Maria nad the lady whereas the lady as a more posh and sophisticated tone of voice than of Maria.

Editing Techniques

In this clip the editing techniques that are were used are fade, cut, shot reverse shot. They didn't disobey the rules of the 180 degree rule while doing the shot reverse shot. Within the shot reverse shot the over the shoulder shot was used as well to show the conversation between the two. The fades were first useed to give the sub title of whats going to happen later in the film. the editor uses alot of cuts to show different scenes of the film to show what is going to happen throughout it. the editor also uses close ups to show the emotions of the characters and establishing shot to show the environment.. the pace of the clip is face to create excitment and it goes with the pace of the music that is playing. The narrative makes it sound exciting which also goes with the music which is exciting and also links with the emotion of the characters.
