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.

Task 4

Ill Manors (Independent film)

The genre of the film is British Crime Drama.The film was written and directed by Ben Drew who is also known as Plan B.The film focuses on 8 core characters and their circles or violence as they struggle to survive on the streets. Each story weaves into one another, painting an ultrarealistic gritty world that is on the brink of self destruction. Each story is represented by a different rap song. This is a good way to show diversity between characters.

Production
The main production company for the film was BBC Films. The BBC was good production company for ill manors because they produce lots of other independents films such as Street Dance three, Fish tank and Match Point. The average budget for a BBC film is £4 million and BBC vary from genre to genre. The script of the film is mostly based off true stories that drew had heard whilst growing up e.g. a girl turned to prostitution to pay off her drug debt. Drew had been trying to develop the film for three years because he was struggling to secure funding for his film. The finances were then helped out by Film London Microwave. They make movies off micro-budgets and they helped with ill manors secure their last bit of finance they needed for the film. The production budget was £100,000 and they used east London to film. Plan B made a CD specifically for the film and he uses the songs to tell the narratives.

Promotion
The film was advertised on the empire magazine website following the film premiere. There was also 8 different posters that ill manors had which was on bill boards, busses and on websites featuring as adverts. ill Manors was using a slogan to promote their film which was......
"We are all products of our environment...Some environments are just harder to survive in".
