Analysis of the Skins clip.

The skins clips represented a range of different shots, such as:
wide shots - which showed the whole settings of the scene making the audience feel involved, from his point of view.
close up of the character brother - showing that this character is relevant to this scene, make the viwers become more aware of the state of mind as this character is disabled.
medium close up of the main character while a voice off screen is happening - to show how he is expressing his feelings and engaging with the audience.
long shot - to show him in a different environment and situation. showing his is an ordinary guy living his life as a normal teenager.

editing - shows to understand the story and speaks to the viewers throughout the clip. it shows the different setting and motions that go along with the story line making it easier for us to understand the whole scene. No sharpe cuts, instead it is smooth and simple which might keep the audience interested with what is going on.
the editing was very clear so it showed the meaning to the audience so they can easily understand what the story is trying to bring across to us.

sound - the background music at the beginning could suggest that it has some relveance to the main character and the story line. the other sounds used were digetic due to the fact that it was to show him in different places to understand what environments he is living in. some examples are in the kitchen, the bus stop and in the class room where kids were messing/shouting and talking loudly.

mise - en - scene - most of the scenes were set up during the day time using natural lights so no studio lights were needed. the mise - en - scene delivered information across to us about what sort of person the main character is by portraying him as a typical teenager. His costume was of a school uniform to show that he is still a student at school which is relvant to the class room scene that is at the end.

the whole clip represents mainly males as the dominant gender because the camera is more concerntrated with them throughout the clip. towards the end of the clip we get introudced to a female teacher at the school which might have a meaning that women are just as equal to men due to having professional jobs, however they are not shown as often as the males characters are.

  1. www well observed, some use of terminology and some analysis of the connotations inherent in the media text. Some mention of representation.

    ebi improved use of terminology and especially the clearer use of appropriate terms with regard to edit and sound. remember to coment on use of specific media languages. Also remember to tie your analysis directly to the representation asked for.
