Coming Down The Mountain Analysis

Analysis

Mise En Scene 
(C.L.A.M.P.S.)
in the episode his disabled brother doesn't dress well. This is a stereotype for disabled people that they do not dress well. This undermines their confidence and shows that they are not as cool as normal people. His disabled brother is shown as small and fat and he is tall and skinny. This again shows that his brother is more powerful because he is taller than him and it again is a stereotype for disabled people saying that they can't be physically fit due to their disability. When actually in fact they could be just as physically fit as a normal person. His brother is also a stereotypical dumb disabled person. Just because someone is disabled doesn't mean they are dumb and away with the fairies, but because its the way people think disabled people are like its easier to show is brother in this way because then they can understand the character easier.

Sound
(M.C.D.O.V.E.D)
When the main character is describing his brother there is minimalist music playing in the background. This shows that audience that he thinks his disabled brother is boring and that he thinks that his brothers life is a waste of time. The Dialogue talks badly about his brother and says that he is incapable of function without someone. Again this is a very wrong stereotype because most of disabled people are able to function by themselves on a day to day basis. In the dialogue his brother has really simple words to say. This tell the audience that his vocabulary is very simple and it gives you the impression that he is dumb due to his disability. Again this is a stereotype most disabled people are clever and function normally and don't need help from other people.

Camera 
(F.A.M.S)
There are a lot of close ups on the disabled brothers face. Instead of having normal body shots they are zooming in right on his disability. This is to show you and exaggerate that he has a disability because most of the storyline as about the brothers disability, so the camera is trying to make sure you have seen his disability and seen how bad it is. This makes you start to feel bad for the disabled brother. The main characters also tower over the disabled brother. This makes the disabled brother look powerless and not as manly as the others. These shots are saying that because he is disabled he is not as manly as the other boys when in actual fact most disabled people are fine and their disability aren't that disabling.

Editing
His brother is on screen a lot which shows that he needs lot of attention all of the time. This again is a stereotype. Just because someone is disabled doesn't mean they need constant attention. Majority disabled people can look after them selves. But the minority do have to have cares. But this is the image we see in our head when we think of someone disabled. By slowing down the pace on the bus it shows that his mind thinks slowly because he is disabled and by slowing down the pace it makes us feel pity for the disabled brother.
