Skins, Editing and sound

The dialogue between the father and the son shows a reversal in audeince expectations. We see the father shouting and swearing at the teenager, which is normally something we would expect to hear from the teenager. The father's aggressive reaction to the diegetic rock music plays to the stereotype that teenagers play loud music and are inconsiderate to older people. His reaction also plays to the stereotype that teenagers frustrate their parents.

As the protagonists routine continues he begins his morning workout.Non diegetic sound is presnted as music plays which he intiated on his stereo. The music played is paralell to his actions as he carrys out a variety of diffrent workout moves,the music also matches the flow of his activitities. This challenges teeneage stereotypes as teenegers are mosty seen as not having a stable routine, however at the same time it conforms to the teenage steroetype which is that they are concious about thier appearance.This is a synchrosnous sound as it is played when his workout begins, it is part of his routine there for e it is syncronised to his dailey workout.

Montage editing is presented as the boy carries out his dailey workout, diffrent scenes are shown from the different exercises her performs.The pace of edit6ing is increased to emphasise the exercises and so that we see the intensity presented in each of the moves.This is compressed time as we do not see the whole of his exercise routine, this is becuase it would be meaningless and boring to view the whole routine, by using action editing we just see the key parts.This shows that he is image consious and that he lives a fast life.

The mise en scene of the protagonists bedroom challenges and conforms to stereotypical views about youth culture. The establishing shot suggests that the series targets a teenage audience and it will follow the life and experiences of a teenager. The duvet cover shown is of a double bed with a naked man and woman, suggesting that this age group is sexually charged. The protagonist is positioned in the middle of the two bodies suggesting that he is sexually inexperienced. It could also be suggesting that he is alone and confused about his sexuality, which conforms to teenage sterotypes.In this shot natural lighting is used to give a sense of realism so the teenage audience identifies with the life of the protagonist.
Further Mise En scene is shown as the protagonist begins his ends his Dailey routine, as he finishes his workout his prank on his farther we see him open his drawers; all of his clothes are neatly folded and placed on top of each other in an orderly manner. This conforms to the common teenage stereotypes, as teenagers are seen to be messy and unorganized; however the protagonist Tony challenges this stereotype. However we later see a contrast in organisation as we meet his sister effy, who conforms to common teenage stereotype with her messy look,


The high angle shot of Effy (the sister) looking at tony, shows her reliant on him, the camera shot supports this as it shows hierachry in the sibling relationship, with tony being in control at the top. This conforms to teenage stereotypes as it is common for teenage older brothers to look after their little siter and ensure they do not get in trouble with their parents a close up is used next to show the protagonists face as he realizes his sister is waiting for him to create a diversion.

Analysis of 'After Child'

Analysis of BBC’S short series ‘After Child’

After child is based on a mother and sons ordeal set in 1993, and believed as a true story of a child with autism.

Mise En Scene

·         Lighting- Dull miserable day to represent sadness or confusion; red is present when Bus drives by before road incident to present danger; after beginning  credits ‘White Screen’ is present to show different scene and to show emphasis on the title or life after death.

·         Costumes Clothing- Dull colours on costume used, formal coats and other clothing to suggest sense of wealth perhaps. This is also portrayed by their housing and perhaps the father’s job as it seems relatively professional.

·         Colours- Colours used are mostly dull and boring to represent a normal day in life. The white colour after the credits co notates Life after death and a new start perhaps.

Camera Angles/Movement

·         Close ups and extreme close ups are use dint he start  and throughout to capture the detail of the child and the mothers relationship, sometimes they are used to depict surrounding characters expressions.

·         Over the shoulder shots are used in the shoe scene to show the agony and stress of the child. A pan is used when they are about to cross the road to co notate perhaps life going by.

Narrative Time

·         Subjective Time- In the start of the clip the scene Is in slow motion to capture detail and emotion in the scene, we also feel what she feels

·         Real Time before the road crossing incident a red bus is seen which co notates danger, after the incident the bus is seen again which presents real time.

Narrative Theories

·         Challenges Toldorovs theory, as the problems and issues in the clip starts from the middle of time, skipping the beginning.

·         Enigma/Action codes-These are both present as we never find out

·         Protagonist=Mother

Sound

·        Non Diegetic- Cars screeching, this is to emphasise the danger of the situation, heavy wind and breathing is also present.

·        Diegetic-Distressed, screaming sound, agony moaning and groaning. Child screams frequently.

·        Contraputanal- The non diegetic doesn’t match the original diegetic the lively piano and soft violin, is matched to a screaming child in the start.

·        Sound Bridges-As the new scene comes onto the screen, all sound from the background and on the screen is sucked out almost as if time travelled back.

Editing/Transitions/Effects

·        After opening a fly in transition of the ‘1993’ date shown on the screen so audience can contextualise.

·        There is frequent action editing that ensures the story is fast paced and emphasises the tension.

Stereotypes

·        Child-People judging the mother as being unfit as child is acting out, even though they are unaware of his disability.
