How editing constucts the representation of disability

Throughout the whole of the clip continuity editing is used. At the very begining hard cuts are used to emphasize the tension between the characters, there is an eye line match, this is trying to create awkwardness between the three characters as we see everything from the boy in the wheelchairs eyeline. A close up of the call is used, it shows her looking down then cuts to a medium close up dad looking awkwardly at the call girl, normally you wouldn't take your dad to something like that so the awkwardness is inhanced by both him being in a wheelchair and the fact he has to take his dad with him.

There is match on action when the dad picks his son up out of the wheelchair and a second match on action when he places him on the bed, it seemless action. There is another eye line match from the boys point of view he is in the bed and she is locking the door, we can tell he feels uncomfortable and vunerable because the eye line match draws attention to this.

A cross cut from the bedroom to outside of the dad getting into the van could show that he hasn't gone far incase his son needs him for any reason. Shot and reverse shot of when they are having a conversation are quick tranistions which makes the conversation seem awkward.

An eye line match/point of view shot to show the window where supposedly the boy and call girl are, this shows the dad is worried about his son because he has a disability, the eye line match draws attention to this. The angle of the camera doesn't change through a series of jump cuts this highlights that he prehaps bored, nervous or worrried. The last tranistion is a cross cut back to the bedroom.
