In Skins the indicators of homosexualality are the ambient sounds of the scene, the way the homosexual character is dressed and the emotionalitity of the character. A homosexual character would have a soft voice and would tend to be the odd one out in the group.

In the scene of skins Maxxie is alone outside in the streets cold which suggests that he is different and segrated from his group. The yellow colour behind him could link to happyness and sadness. The different close ups used in the scene suggests the importance of Maxxie. When Anwars father comes out the camera movement used when they are talking is levelled showing the importance of the conversation. When Maxxie's friends comes they are not focusing on the Religion but more of Maxxie's homosexuality. Ambient sound is used as the audience can hear the party musci and soon after Pleonastic sound soon comes into the scene when the music from inside becomes louder which shows that Maxxie is happy and feels accpeted because when he goes inside the camera shot shows all three friends on the same level.

The way Maxxie's dressed shows that he is fashion conscious, as he wants to fit in with his friends and be accept for who he is.
