Disability - coming down the mountain

At the start of coming down the mountain, the camera pans around the able boys face whilest keeping an eye line shot, this shows that the boy could be obsessive in killing his brother which he used narrative dialogue to tell us. This can relate to the villain stereotype as he is thinking of killing his brother. This then reinforces the stereotype of villains as they are set out to kill. This is negstive as he shouldn't be killing his own brother. 

After the panning, they show the audience an old documentary of an ancient animal video in black and white which can interpret many things. It could be old to show that the brother still hasn't evolved yet, but then it can also be interoperated by the black and white being that the disabled is very simple (black and white) or can also be said that he hasn't evolved (black and white was around in olden days) this then reinforces the ugly & physically in cabled stereotype as he is incapable of many things. 

With the dialogue, David narrates his thoughts which shows that he wants to be the centre of attention because his brother is usually more important. This could then challenge the ugly stereotype as he is not physically ugly, he is mentally ugly as he is trying to win attention and power over this brother who is disabled. This is an negative stereotype as all brother should be treated equally whatever their disability. 

on the shot of the bedrooms, the abled brother has a clean & organised side which shows that he is mentally organised whereas the disabled brother has a messy and colourful side which shows that he has a messy state of mind this then reinforces the ugly stereotype as he is physically incapable of keeping his room organised like his brother. This is negative as it's unfair that he has a messy state of mind.
