How is sexuality represented in this clip?

Camera
Editing
Mise-en-scene
Sound

Through the use of the camera angles in  this scene where the gay man is talking to the boy from the football team, high angle and low angle shots were used to show the difference in social hierarchy as usually gay men are represented as being 'different' and abnormal'; these types of shots reinforce the idea that a heterosexual male is fully accepted in society and is treated normally and therefore being favoured more than gay males. Through this camera angle, we as the audience view the gay character by looking down on him evidently showing how most of the time gay males are perceived to be weak, similar to stereotypical feminine roles.
