How is mise-en-scene used to represent ability and disability in "Coming down the mountain"11/10/2017 In the short clip of Coming Down the Mountain" we see mise-en-scene used to represent ability and disability. In the first bird's eye view shot we see how different the two brothers are. The disabled brother had many bright colours in his side of the room and lots of toys showing how his mental state is one of a child, the other brothers room is dull with shades of grey, brown and black, his side looks very sophisticated and one more-less similar to a teenagers room. Throughout the whole scene we see the disabled brother wearing very colorful clothes with primary colours and the abled one wearing again mostly dull and dark colours. In the middle of the extract we see the two brothers walking to the bus station, at the bus station we see the two brothers on five different occasions in all five the disabled brother is playing with a new toy and moving around, these props show how the younger brother again can't just sit in one place and has to be doing something carrying across his characteristic of having a short memory spam. The older brother just sits there calmly. When on the bus station with the creepy man we see a clear line between the two brothers and the man, this line is part of the bus station wall but it really emphasizes the difference between the 3. Later we see again how on a holiday the disabled son has toys as props and an ice cream, most teens of their age usually don't play around with balls and kites. Again in the classroom we see the boy who starts yelling and mocking around dressed in bright colours which possibly shows how less mature most teens act.
