Representation of Homosexuality in Maxxie from Skins

A scene shows him being outside in the cold which represents the feeling of segregation. The use of the yellow wall connotates the happiness which his back is turned against, and as if he is facing the miserable side. The ambience sound use of party music in the background inside emphesises the fact that he cannot enjoy himself due to his sexuality. The camera angle is shot above Maxxie which makes him seem emotionaly unstable and  weaker, however when his friends come into the scene the camera level comes down to the same level which shows he is equal to his friends. The tone of his voice is obviously unhappy and demoralised which reflects his emotions.
