- Down Syndrome person has no boundaries
- Wide angle shot used to show that brother with Disability is smaller and hunched
- Ill fitting clothes for boy with Down Syndrome (not aware of his appearance)
- Says childish things, "I eat a bag of Crisps and watch Star Wars"
- Framing shows that older brother is protective of younger brother
- Older brother in some cases tries to act more parent-like
- Down Syndrome boy can be seen as helpless and defensive
Counter Stereotypes:
- Disabled person is sexualised
- In some cases the boy with Down Syndrome possesses more maturity than his older brother who is not disabled
- Older brother is open about conversation over sex
- Shot reverse show shows older brother is in shock from inappropriate question
- Wide angles show shows older brother is bigger and more protective while the younger brother with Down Syndrome is smaller and his gait is hunched
- Disabled brother is portrayed in a brighter light
- Combination of close up and older brother opening his eyes shows that the power shift has been changed and the older brother has been found out for lying
