The first character we see is, as we later find out, called Billy. We see him walking along by himself by a dark forest but we can clearly see that he is disabled. This is a positive thing as it shows that his disability does not limit him in his independence as an adult. The camera is going along with him, he is always in the center of the screen which could show that he is one of the main characters.
The next scene shows him walking right in front of the police who have dogs and torches showing he might not be aware as an able bodied person is as they are obvious against the dark setting of a forest at night. When be becomes aware of the police being there he looks startled and this is shown by a close up. I think this shows disability as by his face he looks like he doesn't know what is going on and doesn't know what to do next.When the police see him he runs and the police chase him. The camera uses a tracking shot but it is uneven which could show how it is all in a rush and that Billy doesn't fully understand what is going on. When they catch him he tries to escape and we see him trying to roll away on the forest floor while the police man is trying to hold him down even though it is clear to the audience that he wont escape. I think this could also show disability. He then denies doing anything even before the policeman says anything showing that he doesn't fully understand what is going on.
The following scenes take place in his house. Frost asks Billy's father to go in with him when he is talking to Billy as he is disabled and might not know what is going on. Withing this short scene there are two words for disabled that is used, one is what Frost says which is 'mentally subnormal', to which the father answers 'you mean handy caped', this could show that this is not modern as we fully understand disability now and try not to exclude disabled people from our normal day lives and names like that are now deemed unsuitable for use. After this the camera follows them to the door where they are met by Billy's mother which is a three shot. She says that he will feel better once he is clean and she is holding a blow with a cloth in it showing that he is very reliant on her for things he does daily highlighting the extent of his disability.
When Frost and Billy's father go in to talk to Billy his father explains at eye level very slowly what is happening. Billy also gets spoken very slowly to by Frost so Billy will understand the questions which is also a sign of disability. The camera almost looks down on Billy making the audience feel that they know more than he does like someone does when they look down on someone else. The camera looks up at Frost showing that he has authority in the room, this is also shown when he is trying to look Billy in the eye. Once Billy answers Frost it is very clear when he isn't telling the truth because he looks at the floor showing that he doesn't have the same mental awareness than Frost. When he nods in the scene it is very over done which could show that he doesn't have much control over his body as Frost does. At the end when he says that he didn't see her he speaks clearer than what he has done throughout the clip and he also talks a little louder showing that he is beginning to panic, he repeated this which is showing that he is trying to persuade Frost even though it isn't the truth as Frost has clearly explained that someone saw him with the missing person but Billy still thinks he can get away with lying.
