Cinematography:

The representation of disability is represented through cinematography, for example we immediately see a close up shot of Ben in the first scene instead of David, this signifies that he is more important than David in the story. This conforms to the conventions of a able character because they are often represented as being more dominant then disabled people at the same time this conforms to the conventions of a able person because in most drama's all the main characters are always able people.

The representation of disability is also represented, through cinematography, for example the camera pans around Ben, this signifies that he is dominant. This is because we are focusing on Ben in all perspective of him, which conforms to the conventions of a able character because a able character is often represented as being more important because in the actual society most people that are able provides service for the society.

Editing:

The representation of disability is represented through the editing, for instance when we denote a eye line match of Ben looking at David, which signifies that he is in control. This conforms to the conventions of a able character because we as a audience are following what he is seeing, which signifies his importance in the story.
