The Inbetweeners
Mise en scene – Verisimilitude – park is a realistic place that we can all identify with, environment is realistic, natural lighting, represents summertime, disabled woman couldn’t get away from Frisbee in the air but geeks could run away from mob of boys chasing them. Foreign, female carer, lack of communication because of language
Sound – language used, using term ‘gay’ as an insult, male sound of men playing football, shouting and cheering,
Editing – gender and women being objectified, men are hormonal driven, ‘cool’ guys playing football (male dominated sport) whilst geeks play Frisbee, disabled people seen as victims – when geek tries to get his Frisbee off disabled woman it seems like he’s stealing it.
Camera angles – high angled view looking down at the girl in the wheel chair, emphasis on her disability
In his life 1991 study, Paul Hunt identified 10 stereotypes that the media use to portray disabled people:
1. The disabled person as pitiable or pathetic
2. An object or curiosity or violence
3. Sinister or evil
4. The super cripple
5. As atmosphere
6. Laughable
7. His/her own worst enemy
8. As a burden
9. As non-sexual
10. Being unable to participate in daily life
