Preferably FinD a clip for each; you should at least have screenshots. be as specific as you can about how the representation of sexuality is created and try to use media terminology where possible. the following points might help you:

•Can I identify what the sexualities of the characters are?

•Are people of different sexualities shown as having different interests, personalities, attitudes, behaviours?  If so, how?

•Is their sexuality represented as being important in their life?

•Are particular sexualities represented as being normal / powerful / better?  If so, how?

•Are particular sexualities represented as being abnormal?  If so, how?

•What is the message the clip is trying to portray about sexuality?

•Don’t forget that “straight” is a sexuality too.  Don’t ignore the straight characters as they need to be analysed too!

My 5x5

5 TV Dramas

Bates Motel - weird characters but compelling viewing
Gotham - an interesting back story to Batman. Each episode never seems long enough though!
Hannibal - loved the first two series but finding the third less enthralling
Ordinary Lies - was surprised to see that Jason Manford could act!
Casualty - a very guilty pleasure! I watched it when it first started, then had a 15 year break and nothing's changed much!

5 TV Presenters

Claudia Winkelman - wish I had her energy
Keith Lemmon - used to hate him but love him on 'Celebrity Juice'
Philip Schofield - grew up with him presenting children's TV and he's still going strong!
Sue Barker - fab handling of the boys on 'A Question of Sport'
Jeremy Paxman - rude, arrogant and pushy, but gets answers

 

Films I supposedly saw at the cinema (I fell asleep)

Casino - my first nap time
Matrix Reloaded - complete waste of an evening if I hadn't have caught up some sleep
Gangs of New York - slept most of this so nothing to report
The Dark Knight - can't really justify this one!
Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire - have actually fallen asleep at the same part each time I watched this!

 

Music memories

The Zutons' 'Valerie' - at a gig before Winehouse nicked it!
Guillemots - amazing gig, love their 'Red' album
Maximo Park
Duffy - love her voice
Counting Crows - 'August & Everything After' is my most-played album
