The opening of this clip would start of with an establishing shot indicating the location and the time of day. There would be fast cuts of the establishing shot and a voice over narration and a bit of music as non Digetic sounds. There would come a slow motion zoom in shot that will show the placement of the character. The character is shown disabled as a part of a social group. There and then Digetic sound starts as it describes the population of area he is in.
There comes a fast cut with a POV shot showing that the artist is working hard for what he wants to be in future. There comes a shot reverse shot with a big close up covering his head to shoulders as he sees some sort mistake in his work. The shot moves to an eyeline match cut to show his other sketches and paintings. There comes a natural light as the protagonist is sitting in an outside area.
There comes an another fast cut towards three antagonists playing basketball and fast cut to the ball entering the net. There comes an antagonist of who first sees the protagonist (Alex) with a POV shot and tells his friends to look at him which covers an another POV shot show all three of those antagonists are looking towards the protagonist.
There comes a fast cut to the protagonist and then comes a POV shot to indicate the antagonists are walking to wards that disabled protagonist. There comes a conversation with a OTS shot. The misce-en-scene in this scene is the colour of the clothes of the antagonists that some are wearing black clothes and one of the antagonist is wearing white to indicate that the antagonists have a rude role play.
As the protagonist is in disbelief there comes a dolly in shot and later comes a fast cut that that cuts to a supporting character. There comes an another shallow depth of field showing both the protagonist who is in disbelief and the supporting character (John) walking towards him. Another POV shot comes to indicate the conversation between the protagonist and the supporting character. Next comes the disequilibrium/Montage edit as it shows the past events with a non Digetic sound of the protagonist speaking. Then cuts back with more OTS shots to indicate conversations.
This scene indicates the difference between ability and disability as a part of a social group of media.
