Secret Diary of a Cool Girl - Phyical Disability

In camera the first shot shows the woman opening the door and the camera moves down to show the man in the wheelchair. This shows that he is physically disabled as you can see him in a wheelchair. The close up of the mans face when he is laying o the bed with her touching his face shows he is uncomfortable this tells us that disabled people feel uncomfortable is some situations. The panning shot upwards at the door when they arrive shows the difference between the height of the dad and the son. This shows that
wide shot when they walked in to show dad and son were both in shot.
