I will be talking about the representation of disabled people in the British tv show, casualty. I will be watching a 6 minute extract from this TV programme and looking at how camerawork, miss en scene, editing and sound.

There is a shot in the toilet where you can see both of the characters through the mirror. This is a good technique because it can show both the character's expressions without having a shot from the sides of their head. It also doesn't show the wheelchair so it makes the viewer concentrate on the conversation. The camera shots clearly show him in a wheelchair and almost focus on it in some shots. The director may have done this to remind the viewer that the character is in the wheelchair because when it shows the two of them speaking, it disconnects him from the wheelchair and makes it seem as though he isn't disabled because he isn't speaking impaired and you can't see it from his face.

The fact that the person in the wheelchair has to urinate through a tube suggests that he can't do stuff for himself, this is a stereotype for disabled people because some people may believe that disabled people have to have a helper for everything that they do.
