In this scene of "The secret diary of a call girl" the non diegetic music shows that the main character, who is played by billie piper, who is a normal girl but also a prostitute. it is sexualised when she is on the screen but the music stops when it shows the disabled boy. When the music stops and shows the disabled boy, it shows that he is unattractive because of who the music stops when they show him. This could be seen as discrimination which shows support for the Evans theory, "Disable people are seen as childish, dependant and underdeveloped and are regrading as 'other' and are punished by being excluded from ordinary life. Thus popular images and rhetoric of disabled people abound which comfort us with people who are imperfect, helpless, unattractive, disgusting, shitty, dribbling." This shows that she is used as a sex object and that is what  the audience wants to get as a vibe. The diegetic sounds that are used in the scene are the Dialogue and the sounds that the dad hears in theban when he leaves. The dialogue that is used by Belle, is that she is speaking to him like he is about 2 years old. I think she does this because she wouldn't know how to treat a disabled person, so she talks gentle and calmly. 

In the next scenery, it shows his dad helping him out of his wheelchair which shows the boy to be weak and dependant. Before his dad left, he kisses him on the head which also shows that he is treated like a child, as well as that Belle says it is sweet when she sees men kiss. This shows that he is treated like a child outside of his home and inside as well. There is a vibe of awkwardness when it is just the two of them, Belle tries to be very carefully like he is a new born baby when really he is just a normal young boy who is trying to be like others with trying to forget he has a disability. 

Disability

The media continue to enforce disability stereotypes portraying disabled individuals in a negative un-empowering way.  
 
In his 1991 study, Paul Hunt identified 10 stereotypes that the media use to portray disabled people:

1. The disabled person as pitiable or pathetic
2. An object of curiosity or violence
3. Sinister or evil
4. The super cripple
5. As atmosphere
6. Laughable
7. His/her own worst enemy
8. As a burden
9. As Non-sexual
10. Being unable to participate in daily life

Jessica evans (1998) drawing on the words of Freud and other psychoanalysis, statues: 

"Disable people are seen as childish, dependant and underdeveloped and are regrading as 'other' and are punished by being excluded from ordinary life. Thus popular images and rhetoric of disabled people abound which comfort us with people who are imperfect, helpless, unattractive, disgusting, shitty, dribbling. 

As Cumberbatch and Nergrine (1992), Barnes (1992) and Longmore (1987):

point out studies of the representation show that disabled people are screened out of television fiction or else occur in a limited number of roles. 

As Jordanova stated in in 1989. " the idea of otherness is complicated, but certain themes are common: the treatment of others as more like an object, something to be managed and possessed and as dangerous, wild, threatening. at the same time, the other becomes and entity whose very separateness inspires curiosity, invites inquiring knowledge. 

Medhurst argued in terms of power relations and the constructions of stereotypes; "they are awful because they are not like us" 

it is seriously worth nothing that theory concerning disability can be applied to the elderly with ease. according to evans (1998): 

"Old people in our culture are also segregated and treated as though they are waiting to die. there are close associations between dependency, illness, dying and eat. it seems that increasingly in our culture there are pressures that encourage a reversion to infantile feelings which have to be madly defended against"

Skins 

In the opening scene of "Skins", the non diegetic upbeat music shows that the teenagers in the tv programme is fun and also shows what they do and what they act like throughout the tv programme. When it shows Tony in the bed, it shows that he has naked people on his bed cover, which also shows he is obsessed with sex. Teenagers only care about sex when they got to the age of 14-16, they worry about loosing their virginity and being the odd one out.
