In the trailer of Pride there is a positive representation of national identity. This is as we see things such as the use of close up camera shots that show people in the pub/hall having a good time and socialising with each other. There is also the use of of a screen that says "Deep in the Valleys" and the use of an establishing shot which help us get an idea of the setting and we can know that the national identity will be based on people from Wales. All of these conventions that are being used conform the stereotype of welsh people as we see the drinking, being loud, the welsh valleys and the small community.
But the representation does change to a negative one quickly, this can be seen by the use of fast transitions between camera shot which helps to create tension and close up camera shots of people which helps to show the tension between the two groups of people. We also hear non diabetic sound in the form of sad music being played over the diegetic sound of the two groups of people talking about the issue, which is done to create sympathy for the gay people.
This continues into the next scenes but we see the different use of mise en scene, the location went from being a pub/hall to being shown in the streets. We also see the use of mise en scene props like banners and posters that show the dislike that there is from the old people to the gays. Once again we see the producers using the quick camera transitions with a combination of close up shots which are creating more tension and are showing the extent of the divide between the different groups of people in the community.
In the scenes after this the non diegetic sound in the form of music speeds up and in one part where there is a confrontation it seems as if a handheld camera was used to create a sense of realism to throw the audience into the scene. Also they use low key lighting to keep the authenticity of the scene and in another scene where there is a riot between protesters and the police the same conventions with the camera shots, lighting and handheld camera shots are used.
In the scenes where things seem to be getting better for the gay people, we see the use of high key lighting and close up camera shot to show happy emotions and triumph
