How is sound represented in Ability and Disability through 'coming down the mountain'?
Coming down the mountain is a film from a teenagers perspective called David, about his life with his disabled brother, called Ben. There is a running soundtrack throughout most of the clip where there is a montage of all the things Ben likes to do, and how David is always there with him. There is quite childish plain, uneventful, repetitive music which shows what their life is like and it makes you realize what David's life is like and how he doesn't get much freedom because he is stuck with his brother. When there is the breakfast scene the music on the radio is 'Wouldn't it be nice' by the Beach boys. Which shows how much David and his family suffer from being stuck with Ben, which does create a bad image on disabled people because they drag you down. Furthermore there is a narration by David during the beginning montage, it is a non-diegetic sound, and he is explaining to the audience how much of a pain Ben is, making us sympathize for David because it's unfair on him and also sympathize with Ben because it's not his fault he is like that. Finally when David leaves Ben, which is a rarity, the music changes into a sad soundtrack and it shows that disabled people find it hard to be on their own, and Ben is only a teenager and he finds it very difficult to be alone and it makes us a bit annoyed at David because he has left him but we remember that he is always with him and needs some freedom.
