Mis-en-scene

Billy is first shown dusting himself off in the dark on his own, which makes us assume he has been involved in some mischief. Stereotypically, some people with certain disabilities can be associated with 'strange' behaviour. The police dogs also reinforce the assumption that Billy has done something wrong. After he has been caught, his mother approaches the room with a bowl of water and a cloth, which shows us that she is used to caring for him like she'd care for a child, and tending to his needs. When Mr Frost is speaking to billy, he tilts his head in a confused manner, which could be associated with the confusion that some disabled people may get as they might not understand things as easily as someone without a disability. Mr Frost is shown smiling at Billy every now and then, like you would smile at a child to comfort them.

Camera work

Near the beginning of the clip there is a long tracking shot of Billy, so that we are able to see his appearance. From this alone, it may be already noticeable that Billy has a disability. Also, this shot allows us to see the dirt on his face which reinforces the idea of him causing mischief. Shortly after this we see a close and reaction shot of Billy when he notices the police. He looks very frightened and confused. At this point disability is being represented as being easily frightened, confused and vulnerable. When Billy's father crouches beside him, Billy is shown in a high angle shot which makes him childlike and vulnerable. There are constant close ups of Billy to show his confused expression, and close ups of Mr Frost to show him smiling reassuringly like you would do to a child.

Sound

At the start of the clip when Billy is seen out on his own in the dark, mysterious sounding non diagetic music is playing which relates to the idea of Billy being up to something. When he is caught, Billy shouts "I haven't done anything wrong" in a pleading and child like way. Here disability is represented as pitiful and powerless. Mr Frost talks about needing someone with him while he talks to Billy in case he "breaks the rules". This suggests that disabled people need to be handled and spoken to very carefully. Billy's mother can then be heard asking if she should clean him up. Thus suggests that his mother takes care of him like a child, and this represents disability as being treated like a child. Billy's father explained in very clear and simple terms why Mr Frost is there. It is like he is explaining something to a child, and does not want to overcomplicate things. Disability is being represented here as not being able to understand things that someone with out a disability would. Mr Frost speaks in a quiet, friendly tone to Billy as if he is trying not to worry him. This suggests that people with certain disabilities might get easily worried or frightened.

Editing

A shot reverse shot sequence of close ups of both Billy and Mr Frost have been put together, to emphasise the adult to child like conversation they are having. This sequence shows how Billy is spoken to like a child, which represents disability as being treated extra carefully and in a child like way.
