Secret Diary Of a Call Girl

In the opening scene of the secret diary of a call girl we are able to notice that the man in the wheel chair is paying the call girl money for sexual feather which suggest that she is a prostitute. In this essay i will be explaining how disability is being represented in the film by the use of camera shots, sound, mise en scene and editing.
       Mise en scene show us that the man in the wheel chair is shown and this show use that the wheel chair he is in is a symbol of his disability. in the opening scene we see him and his father walk through the call girls house it seem like his father is more nervous then he is and this show us that his father feel his son is not able to do it, this suggest that disabled people are not protrude to be sexual and this is because of there disability. Also the way the father was acting in the van show us that he is really comfortable with the situation because he try to do suff which will distract him like playing with the chair and playing music out loud. The call girls apartment does not have a ramps it has stair which is not suitably for wheelchair user, This shows that the call girl may not usually have disabled customers. when the call girl take of his top we are able to notice that he is not able to do many things and rely on other to do them for him.
      Camera shot show us a til shot at the being to introduce us to the main protagonist who is disabled, the til shot show us that the call girl first start at the father then at blake which mean it easy to address to a person who is standing then is sitting in a wheelchair.  A wide long shot  show us the Blake wheelchair and the stairs, this allows us to understand that the apartment was not built for disabled people and that the majority of the customer are not disabled. there a close up of the expression on Blake face  when he enter the house and when the women is taking him,this suggest that Blake is not use to this and being touch other then his father helping him around and his PA and this could be because of his disability. There is a close up on his father face which shows us an expression that he does not  want to leave his son alone in the room with that women.
     Editing show us shot of Blake father carries him on to the bed show us that he is depend on others and is not able to much alone. The jump cuts to his father in the van shows us that the cant not take knowing that his son is in the hand of another person is hard for him to take. Cut between flat and van an shot to the father reveal his thought and are being replaced by the actions in his van, this allows us to understand that he is distracting himself to forget about the situation.
     Sounds allows us to listen to what type of thing we can hear. Like the non diegetic sound start from the shot when the father is in the van and moves on to when there in the flat and the call girl is touching him this is when they were starting to become intimate. The call girl apologises to blake for locking the door. This show us that she is not use to working with diabled people.
