Gender is represented in various ways. One way is by the use of Mise-en-scene. The first setting we see is the men on a rugby pitch playing rugby, this immediatley connotes the masculine side of the men as rugby is known as a violent sport that involves a lot of contact. Also after the rugby match and many more times during the programme we see the men drinking a 'pint' in the pub. Drinking beer is associated with men, so this connotes the sterotypical man who likes to socialise in a pub and drink beer, also the bar is mainly filled with men with the odd woman that is flirting, this maybe suggests that men are the dominating gender.
Gender is also represented through camera, the first shot we see is a close up, low angle of the men, this really shows the aggresivness in thier facial expressions and it also connotes the power they have.
Sound is used to represent gender because when the man comes home, you can hear non-digetic music and this connotes to the audience that the man is not feeling too good, but infront of all his mates he was acting like he was okay, this portrays the sterotypical man that feels he has to act hard in front of his friends, and can't show emotion.
