Representation of disability

It's clear in this clip who is able and who is disabled. The camera focuses on the man with the disability and shows him less more inferior to more able bodied people. Disabled people are represented as being pathetic and weak in comparison to those around them. The power imbalance is clear in the clip. The more able bodied characters seem strong and capable of succeeding in daily life, and appear to have dominance of putting down the disabled characters and controlling their storyline.
1. The character in this clip fits several of Hunt's stereotypes. The character is seen as pitiful to others, and as the object of violence, seeing as he lashes out towards the end. There's hesitancy towards people with disability- we tread carefully around them through fear of offence. He is in some ways his own worst enemy, as the self loathing is clear throughout. Also, in some ways he is unable to participate in daily life, considering he can't get his job back, or interact without striking fear.
2. The camera was constantly focused in on the right hand side of his face showing off the disability to the audience, making it even more evident that this is the focal point of the character's storyline. When he's in the crowds half way through the clip, the camera takes up multiple different angles with a handheld camera. This puts us in the perspective of the able bodied community, making us see our regular point of view in this situation in society. We're constantly staring and judging the disabled in the streets, and this technique used by the camera crew points out the evident view we hold in modern day society- the disabled, as Hunt points out, are the object of curiosity. In the final scene the lighting is dark, creating a sombre, sinister atmosphere for the scene. This complies with Hunt's stereotype of disabled people being sinister and evil.
3. When the handheld camera is used when the character is in the crowd, it gives a sense of isolation of the character. Everyone around him is staring , making the audience pity him and feel sympathy for him. It holds a strong representation of disability in wider media and society that the general public have a view of less equality towards those with a disability.
