Coming down the mountain

How is the audience positioned to think about both David and Ben?
The audience are positioned to think that David is looking after Ben. The audience may also be able to tell that they have a close bond.

 How is the editing conveying representations of disability?
The use of the shot reverse shot implies that Ben and David respect each other. It also contradicts the stereotype that able bodied people are more superior and capable than disabled people because they both show equality.

 Who gets the majority of screen time?
Both characters get the same amount off screen time, this reinforces the counter stereotype that each character is equal.
How does the mise en scene convey representations of disability (facial expressions, props)?
Ben has a scrunched up face, when talking about sex. This implies that disabled people are unable to have mature adult conversations.
Can you find any examples in the dialogue which convey representations of disability?
