In the clip, it uses: miss-en-scene, camera, sound and editing to portray the difference in sexualities in characters throughout. Each concept has been crafted in a way where the audience can either relate or reject the stereotype.
Mies-en-scene is one of the biggest concepts of this due to having various elements in which portray sexuality. For example, in the middle of the clip when the traditional "gay man" through only his performance alone (an aspect of mine-en-scene) can we suggest that he is gay, tries out for the schools football team he is in fact wearing a different colour from the rest of the male characters which immediately promotes difference. The red and purple completed contrasted the white in the other men's jerseys which could represent a sign of pureness for them where as red has the connotations as danger and sexuality is still, to this current day a touchy subject within the media - therefore, using a key stereotype to be promoted through the characters costume in order to present his sexuality through another aspect of mine-en-scene. This same character refuses to put on his helmet due to saying "it will mess up his hair" this diegetic dialogue adds personality to the character and therefore gaining more performance (aspect of mies-en-scene) which appearance is another stereotype issued around the "gay man".
