At the beginning the camera started at Belle's height but when she opened the door the camera automatically pans down to Blake's level which suggests he has less control in this situation. This is backed up by the fact his Dad has to accompany him and help him get out of his wheelchair and onto the bed. Blake's lack of control and ability in this situation is emphasised in the height difference between Blake and his Dad. The typical stereotype of disability is used here because his is represented as being unable to do basic things and there is a sense of awkwardness from his Dad and Belle about the situation. Belle is being particularly sensitive about the situation and more so that she would with other clients so this represents that in society there is a noticeable difference in they way able and disabled people are treated. The soundtrack is very slow and long which gives the audience a feeling of the unease in the room and also builds up sympathy for Blake. The room is quite light and luxurious with the fancy bed and the champagne glasses which make Blake look even more out of place because he is wearing quite dark clothing compared with Belle's light blue silk-style dress.
