Inside i'm dancing:
First impressions: Dull, grey and drab, adults watching over you, treating them like plants, don't look very happy, sad emotions, blurred, repetition, blunt and straightforward speech.
I think that later on in the film there will be issues with the people in the care home and one of the patients goes missing or causes some sort of trouble. the staff will have to deal with the scenario's. He wont be able to settle in
very well and fit in and will cause disruptions and cause upset to others.
Michael appears worried, the man is sat in the left third of the image and you can see tother figures shown in the background. This could lead into the fact that he's an important character in the extract and plays a vital part to what may be noticed later on. Dull and empty facial expressions, dull colour schemes such and grey and black to give the impression of blankness and boredom. He wears a grey baggy shirt and positioned himself away from the others and appears lonely and a sense of no control as though he's starring into space wanting to get out but knowing that he would not be fit for the outside world, restrained and restriction.
Rory appears cold and puzzled and his expression show his thoughts and feeling, his hair resembles his style and his red and black check shirt reflects anger and sadness. he appears to be starring straight ahead which could relate to his feeling of life moving forward and the bleak and dark surrounding show distress and panic he might be expressing. he has a nose piercing which shows he is different from the others with spiky hair which gives away that he is different form the other which could lead into the trouble that may be caused later on in the film.
Rory is positioned on the right this of the image separated from the other by a talllight that lights up his positioning this could resemble his part in the text and gives overhead impressions to the viewer that trouble may occur later on. You can see that he is different from the other because of his colour and style which could reflect on his personality and actions. Non diagetic sounds in the background and the soundtrack of bag-puss.

Mise en scene:
Grey clothing and dark lighting showing sadness of emotions and dullness inside the care home and out, slow moving and basic camera work and editing, bag-puss quote.
Camera work:
Basic camera work reflects on the needs of the patients, it moves slowly from one scene to another with no sudden movements or clips.
Editing:
slow.
Sound:
The sound is ambient and non diagetic which is heard in the background of the text. There is diagetic sound which enhances sounds such and doors shutting and keys jingling. Silence when no one is speaking.
Discuss way in which disability is represented in the extract.
The extract represents disability in many forms and enhances the relations between disability and its functions of non able, depreciated of general activities, loss of feeling and mental or physical block. Mise en scene and camera work relate to the disabilities shown in the extract. Sound also plays a large part into relating features of disabilities with certain characters styles, emotions, thoughts and feelings.
The Mise en Scene adds to the mood and atmosphere, this representation of the setting of Inside Im Dancing consists of grey and grim clothing. The rooms are grim and also quite dark with limited key lighting. Even the outside lighting is dark and grey skies. This sets the mood of boring routine lifestyle.
To co-inside with the grim boring atmosphere, the camera work is also limited and dull. Its slow and there is no dramatic use of shots, just simple medium and close up shots. The close ups are used to determine the main characters, in the first five minutes we see close ups of the household inhabitants, but the longer held close ups are of Michael and the new character Rory.
The role of sound is less important in this extract as the theme of disability is key and the attributes of sound, camera work and mise en scene must contribute to this. The diagetic sound of Bag-puss on the television is low but then turns into a louder non diagetic sound to enhance the quote: 'Bag-puss gave a big yawn and settled down to sleep.' This quote encourages the atmosphere of the setting to be boring and dull.
The editing is similar to the role of sound in this extract, as it is slow and simple. Which contrasts to the difficulties and complications that disabled people face daily. For example in the extract, Michael is trying to signal an awaiting problem but cannot express it to his carer to warn her. This however isn't shown in dramatic flashes between Michael and the problem, but simply has the problem behind Michael in the scene. The scene changes are slow and digest between one another.
