At the very beginning of the trailer the welsh opera singers is non-diegetic and placed over the top of the images of different parts of Wales and famous landmarks. This is a stereotype of the Welsh community. This stereotype of Welsh people singing opera comes from the famous opera singer Charlotte Church who comes from Wales originally. Where the music then changes to a more upbeat modern song when the 'gays' come onto the scene it then shows that being gay is seen as a more modern thing. As it goes from the traditional Welsh opera singing which is a stereotype to an upbeat song that is very modern and accepted, this then has the same effect on people being gay as it is now a lot more modern and challenges the stereotype of the Welsh being single and narrow minded, whereas being gay is a lot more modern and now accepted to what it once was so by going from a very old traditional song to a very upbeat and more modern song it then represents society and how society has come on from old traditional stereotypes, as has the acceptance of gay community and the gay concept.
The stereotype that because the Welsh are such a small community, so they all know each other and get along with one another due to the wall community. This stereotype is then conformed when you see a large quantity of the community sat together in a hall clearly taking part in a certain activity all together. Also a group of men all together at a pub, conforming the stereotype that all of the Welsh know each other due to the small community.
