sexuality paragraph

In the establishing shot the mise en scene shows femininity which also maybe suggests homosexuality. The two girls are wearing big cream and white dresses looking into a mirror covered in grime and dirt, this connotes that her homosexual feelings have to be hidden away and their relationship she is longing for will never be. The colour of the background is dark and dusky showing that it is set in the past when homosexuality was frowned upon. In contrast the male is wearing browns and dark colours which are usually associated with the men, this connotes that he is heterosexual. Throughout the clip the women is recurringly seen wearing a white gloves this is a representation that she has to hide herself almost like a mask because she can't show her sexuality. However, when the dominant heterosexual male removes the glove this is almost like he is undressing her and forcing his sexuality on her. The two women on the bed are both wearing white this could signify purity and that they mean no harm, especially the woman who is awake, it shows she means no harm with what she is doing and her sexuality. The woman on the bed is also wearing a short dress this draws the audiences attention towards her body realising she is a very beautiful woman and the other woman is attracted to her. In contrast with the dusky establishing shot, the cut to the long shot outside is bright and colourful, this suggests that "out in the open" she will have to hide her feelings and her sexuality.
