Representation of sexuality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsiYpXC84dw&NR=1&feature=endscreen

In the start of the clip we can see that there are some male dancers on the stage of the venue. They seem to have a slight feminine side to them as the main singer is wearing a skirt and has make up on. This style of clothing may give the audience the appearance that he is gay as we would be stereotypical of what he is wearing. Here we also tet the first glimpse of the two main characters who appear to be two females. One of the females watches the other who appears to be dancing with a male. The woman watching stares intregingly whilst the female turns in slow motion. She seems to be happy and giggling which would represent a flirty manner towards the male. The onlooking female seems slighty at unease with what she sees. This would indicate that she feels jealous that the woman is happy dancing with the man and that she is feeling unwanted. The clip then cuts to a scene where the two women are facing each other and standing opposite. They place their hands together but as they do the clip jump cuts back to the same scene as before. Indicating that the woman had a vision. This shows that she obviously has feelings towards the female character.

Later in the clip, the other female woman wishes to tell everyone about the fact she loves the other woman. However, the character panics and wishes to leave. She is worried that her family and the world will not accept her as she says "I can't do this right now" and leaves. This shows that she is concerned what people will think of her. In society people can be very judgemental of a persons chosen sexuality, and this makes people wish to keep their sexuality a secret. This is clearly demonstrated in this clip.
