Sexuality In the Media

REPRESENTATION OF SEXUALITY

Task 1:
The video of Nina's heavenly night is set in a gay bar this is a denotation as its being represented by a man , dressed as a women singing. His appearance is extremely camp and flamboyant these are just few connotations. you can tell by his body that he is a masculine build and the only thing representing him as a women is his clothes.

Nina , during the beginning seems confused. Stereotypically this is something that is portrayed about gay men or women, that they are confused about who they are but later when nina becomes affectionate with another women, she them realises who she really is. 

This is evident that the women has possibly found her self within her identity and sexual orientation. 

Nina according to stereotypes doesn't look like a typical lesbian that people would have in their ideas, instead she looks like a natural lady that hetrosexual men would fancy, i guess the idea of the directors is that being gay doesn't mean you have to look or behave different yet later on in the video you can see how others do like to portray being gay.

Later on within a muslim community ,a male member is also dressed and flamboyant in women clothing , he is dancing around and entertaining younger muslim children. In the media and muslim community it is seen wrong to be gay, however its evident that this male wants to disobey these rules and show the younger children that being gay is fine,
