Skins - representation of homosexuality

His personality seems feminine compared to the stereotypical macho male, in how he speaks softly, is anxious of going into the building, and his posture.  His stripes could signify his clash of emotions.  How he is dressed demonstrates he is keeping up with the latest fashion trends.

He was outside by himself which could suggest that Maxi is segregated from his friends.  Him crouching against the wall implies that he is in a sensitive state of mind, like a baby being in a foetal position.  The use of yellow behind him signifies happiness is behind him and misery is in the foreground, showing his emotional turmoil.

The camera is level when he is having a conversation with the older male to suggest he is now accepted.

Incidental music is used, where the background sound is distorted.
