GENRE THEMES: Homosexuality Film Examples

HOMOSEXUALITY- Film examples

Homosexuality is a theme often used in period dramas and they indeed share some codes and conventions with modern films.

Examples:



Affinity

-awkward and hesitant intamacy
- exaggerated reactions to touches (protagonists physical interaction)
- high emotions running
- close proxemics (eye contact/ personal space)

Fingersmith

- extreme close ups (especially when intimate- e.g face touching etc)
- eye contact
- minimal to none use of make -up
- delicate touches and embraces towards the protagonists
- use of a montage with clips showing the relationship progression of the protagonists

This simply gives an idea of the sorts of aspects we should be considering including in our film opening.
