How sound shows the representation of disability.

In the “Diary of a call girl” clip there is evidence of the representation of disability. The first part of the clip shows the woman answering the door to the disabled boy and the dad. There is lots of dialogue used where there are a lot of awkward conversation happening. This emphasises the fact that the atmosphere is very anxious and awkward because of what’s about to happen in this room.

The next part of the clip shows there is ambient and diegetic sound that is used. The rustling of the envelope when the man pulls it out of the bag indicates that the envelope contains money for the love making that is going to take place in this room. This makes the atmosphere in the room even more awkward when there is very little conversation happening.

The next part of the clip shows the man leaving the room and the woman locking the door. More ambient sound is used because the locking of the door makes the boy worried and nervous because if he was in trouble his father couldn’t get to him. There is very stuttering dialogue used in the conversation with the boy and the woman, this shows that this is a very awkward situation and it would be a lot less awkward if the boy wasn’t disabled. This makes the audience feel sympathy for the disabled boy.

Further on in the clip we see the father waiting in the van. There are sound affects used when the man presses the horn of his van down, moves the seat back and forth and open and closes the window several times. This emphasises the boredom of the father in the van with these fidgety and restless actions. It also shows that the father is very worried and anxious for his son this shows a good father and son relationship.

In the final part of the clip we see a sound bridge used which is used in the form of non-diegetic sound. The sound track used has the main instrument of a harmonica which creates a very anxious and sad mood. The sound track is carried from the van into the room where the woman and boy is, this sound track makes the audience sympathise for the boys disability. The sound track also reflects the dialogue used in the conversation between the boy and the woman, the boy said “I’m just not used to being touched, which again gives off sympathy to the audience for the boys disability. If this scene continued there would have been a more increased volume in sound as there is love making about to take place.
