Representation or Sexuality
In the very first three shots of the video, both of the women are kept in the medium and medium close-up shots. This connotes the women are very close to one another, which may represent how homosexual people are very close to each other when they are in a relationship. This is a stereotypical view. The way the characters interact in this shot also shows how close they are, such as the behind woman rubbing the in front woman's shoulders and the non-diegetic dialogue "She looked so beautiful" being the thoughts of one of the women.
The scene with the woman being confronted by the man by the tree represents non-homosexuals as superior over homosexuals. The man says He'll "Tell her" to the woman which makes the woman fearful, representing homosexuality as easy to take advantage of. This can be stereotypical of discrimination in the real world, as homosexuality is often discriminated against.
