Mise en Scene Example - Skins

The mise en scene of the introduction shows the protagonist's bedroom. This intro challenges and conforms to stereotypical teenage culture in many ways. The establishing shot shows the protagonist of the drama in the centre of a bed with a duvet that shows a naked man and woman. This suggests that his age group are sexually charged and obssessed with sex, but the fact that he is posistioned in between the two bodies, connotes that he is confused about his sexually as most teens are 'apparently'. He is also sleeping in a double bed, yet is alone which suggests he feels lonely about his life and does not fullfil his sexual urges. The natural lighting used makes the scene look natural and shows that the drama will be set in a realistic setting.
