Question 2 : (7/12)

How are viewers encouraged by the trailer to see disability?

The audience are encouraged to not perceive disability as a hurdle preventing you from achieving what you wish to achieve in life. The various close up shots and the non-diegetic music is full of determination and strength which subverts from the stereotypes that are much more negative, highlighting a stereotype which might be present but more positive like Perkins suggested, not all stereotypes have to be negative,

Disability is also encouraged to be perceived as something that allows not only the disabled to come together but also the community. We can see that the Olympians who have disabilities huddling together in the medium shot creating a personal relationship and closeness to the players, highlighting that these individuals are still human and still value the concept of togetherness and community. The diegetic sound of the cheering audience also adds to the concept of perceiving disability as something to be celebrated, supported and motivated. 

The portrayal of these disabilities also add to the idea the disability is something of human nature that is usually inevitable and a part of life that has to be accepted. The flashback sequence of the accident highlights disqualibuim of life that can take place however we must carry on and keep dreaming (hence the determined close up expression) This is a way channel 4 create the concept of acceptance of disability rather than something that society rejects and doesn't celebrate. 

This idea of the disablied being powerful and determined help us to identify with these individuals as sources of courage. We perceived them as powerful from the various low angel shots and the close ups of strong facial expressions. This application of Blumer and Kats uses and gratifications theory allows for us to perceive the disabled as powerful role models who can aspire the nation.
