Representation of disability within textual analysis-The Streets

Camera shots:
The first shot is a close up of the fence which is in shallow focus as the background is blurry. This shot showing the barbed wire makes the audience believe that it is dangerous and the audience is viewing something they shouldn't be. The next shot is similar as the audience can see a shot of a man behind the fence watching the conversation happen showing that he should not be listening in. At 0.17 the shots change from a master shot, showing the conversation with all three characters involved and then point of view shots as the camera zooms in to different facial expressions showing their reactions to the conversation. For instance, at 0.32 where there is a close up of the man in the vehicle who raises his eyebrow to clearly show awkwardness of the fact they do not wish to rehire him due to his disability.
The start of the next scene is shot at a high angle which makes the women seem vulnerable  which is also confirmed by when he scares her as he appears. Then there is a tracking action as the women tries to explain herself but the man clearly doesn't want to hear it as he keeps trying to get away shown by the camera's movement.
As the man walks through the crowds, filmed at a long shot, there are close-ups of various people's expressions as they notice the man and his scar (2.12).
The conversation between the two men sat at the desk remains at the same height/angle showing their point of view as they speak normally until he says "I scare people" which is when the camera zooms into their faces and the point of view shots are closer than before. This shows that the atmosphere has changed now, the man has brought up his scare and says that he can use it to scare others which shows how he has suddenly started to intimidate the other man who before appeared to have more power. Every time the man mentions scaring other people the camera shot is on the side of his face with the scar to show the audience what he means to use to scare them.
Sound:
The first thing the man says to Nick is "You around? What for?" which shows he wasn't expecting him to come and ask for his old job back and he wasn't pleased to see him unlike the other man who says "you alright mate?". When Nick asks how work is going his friend replies "bit rough at the minute mate" which the driver agrees to which makes the audience believe they are only saying as they do not wish to rehire him. This is also highlighted when he says "well it couldn't be your old wage" even if they did rehire him to try and further put him off from taking the job. This could be because of his scar and therefore the other men didn't want him working for them as they felt that this disability could put people off asking them to work. Nick knows the real reasons for the men not wanting him to work and shows this when he tells them to "fuck off" rather than taking the lower paid job or accepting it.
When he makes the women jump she is quick to say that it wasn't because of his scar. She says "Nick, I'd have screamed no matter who it was" trying to explain that it wasn't because of his disability. She said "God sake, you frightened the life out of me" which she then regrets as she tries to chase after him and gives a long list of other reasons why she would have jumped. Nick tells her to "stop digging" three times throughout their conversation which shows the audience that he is not interested in her excuses which could portray that these type of reactions have happened before.
When Nick is walking through the crows there is dramatic music which makes it more tense and the audience watches other people stare at the man with the scare. It shows how doing a simple thing like walking through a popular place is hard for the man as everyone looks at him and it also shows to the audience that he is getting annoyed by it as the music gets faster.
Nick says to the Sargent that he is "ugly...now" showing the audience that he hasn't always had the scare and so he hasn't always been used to being treated the way. He tells him how he has women scream at him because it is noticeable but when he asked the army for compensation (obviously how the man received the scar) they "can hardly notice it then, obviously" showing how he knew they would not give him any. Nick says "I've got the perfect face for a squadding, ugly and scary" and refers to it as a "hacker" that other people would use to scare people. This shows the audience how he is ashamed of the scar and how he knows it scares people so he may as well use it for that.
Editing:
The clip is shot in continuity as everything appears to happen in the correct time order and everything happens one thing after another rather than anything being interrupted.
Eye line match is used first to show what the man is looking at but then it changes to action match editing as the man is listening in to the other two men have a conversation at first and so the two shots are filmed alongside each other to make it seem like he is listening at certain points during the conversation not before or after. Once he comes over shot/reverse shot is used to film the conversation from the characters different points of view and to make it seem natural for the audience. Towards the end of this clip short takes are used to show how the tension is building and how Nick is getting angry with the other man for his excuses to hire him.
A cutaway edit is used to put the next scene in which is not immediately relevant to the first as it is a shot of the lady. Expansion of time appears to be used here as after the women shouts at Nick there appears to be a longer time spent between them before Nick gets up and leaves. This is used to show the awkwardness of the situation and to echo what the women has just said.
Match cut editing is used to swap between the shot behind Nick as he walks away and in front of him as he walks towards the camera to show the two different perspectives of, at first, what the women is seeing as he walks away and she gets up to follow him and then the shot in front as he tells her to stop digging and to leave him alone.
Short takes are used in the scene where Nick is walking through the crowd to show different peoples perspectives of him and there reaction to him, it also makes it seem a lot quicker and so builds the tension. It makes the audience believe that Nick is noticing the looks and he is getting more frustrated with them.
In the last scene shot/reverse shot is used again to show the conversation between the two men and to make it seem as natural as possible. It is also used as graphic match as the shot of the man that the audience can see is what the person sat on the opposite side would be able to see, showing their point of view. The cutting rhythm of this scene is quite slow and repetitive as it follows the same rhythm as the camera switches between each man and the conversation builds. The cutting rhythm changes towards the end as Nick starts to gain more power as he gets more frustrated with the Sargent's responses. In the clip there are now more shots of Nick and for longer than there is of the Sargent which shows Nick has the power as often the Sargent only responds with one word answers. Mise en scene:
The lighting in the office where the two men work is striped which makes the audience believe the natural light is being let in through blinds creating the stripes. This makes the setting more natural and life like, making it more believable for the person watching. It also creates a darker light which matches the intimidating atmosphere created by what Nick says.
The clothes of the characters in this clip match what the audience would expect them to be. The men in the building yard appear to be in scruffy clothes and some are wearing high visibility jackets which is what they would be normally seen in when doing that kind of work. Nick is wearing casual clothes showing he had no where to be and therefore did not want to dress smarter but it also shows how he thought he may have got his old job back and so needed to wear that. The women who is unpacking the car appears to be a mother which is represented by her casual, everyday clothes and she has her hair tied back which shows she did not put a lot of effort in as she was busy with other things. Her sons are dressed in similar outfits which may suggest they are not very wealthy as they all seem to be dressed simply. The Sargent is the only character who appears to be dressed more formally, he is wearing traditional army camouflage which highlights his position and automatic dominance over the others.
Nick walks out of the building yard with his hands in his pockets and slightly bent over which shows that he is annoyed at what has just happened and he is not in a good mood. This is similar to when he is in the office with the Sargent as the Sargent is sat up straight and close to the desk whereas Nick is sat with his leg on the chair and leaning back in his chair. This is until he starts to talk about his scar and leans forward to the Sargent to appear more threatening and aggressive.
The setting in this clip is what you would expect to find for the character, he visits everyday places or places that would position him as less powerful e.g. asking for a job at a building yard and even when he is in the Sargent's office there are other people that appear to be sat at the back waiting to show he is in the same position as many others.
