Textual Analysis and Representation - Disability Clip

Some of you have attempted to analyse this clip for Section A: Textual Analysis and Representation on the G322 Key Media Concepts (TV Drama) paper - but if you didn't do the mock (or just fancy having another go at it) here it is again.



The clip comes from a TV Drama called Coming Down the Mountain. The clip was used for the Summer 2012 exam and the area of representation is disability.

The clip contains excellent examples of a range of camera distances and angles (think about the significance of the bird's eye view shot that opens the scene), lots of opportunity to carefully discuss mise-en-scene and sound, and a wonderful use of montage. Remember to link comments about the use of these techniques to disability.

Please email me any practice essays to alexmorphey@btinternet.com and i'll mark them for you!
