Skins analasis Mis-en-scene

What diffrent settings are used in the sequence? It is an interior setting is in a house not a person at the partys house as it is getting trashed. The place shows you that the programme is about sex drugs and non stop parting they seem not to care as half of them are high on drugs.
What objects props,images or symbols do you notice in eachh location and what assoications or ideas do they suggest? There are many drugs shown in the scene there is also a person dressed up as a bear. This is very random and doesnt have any significance this shows us that anything can happen in this series.

Shots
What is the shot showing?
Connotations ( your response)
Denotations what the shot suggests
Establishing shot
Jays caravan
You wonder why a caravan is just parked in on the street.
This shows that it’s not a very nice place to be as the caravan looks run down and dirty and this makes us think that it is not belonging to anyone wealthy.
Close up
Of Neil’s face showing how engaged he is in Jays lies
You wonder how Neil can be so stupid the shot is face on so this is focusing on his emotion in his face. You also feel sorry for Neil being so gullible.
That Neil is so intrigued by Jays lies. The close up shows his face and how gullible Neil is.
Mid shot
Of all the boys sat around the table
This is just giving you the response that it is a friendly atmosphere

The boys have just been talking about how great they are and then this shot puts them to shame

Cutting between two close up shots
Between Simon and Tara while Simon gets into panic when she starts asking him questions
That Simon is in panic and does not know what to say so you feel sorry for him and you don’t want him to embarrass himself

Coronation Steet

 In the 1961 operning titles the steet is shown as a dull boring not  perticualtry weathy place to live in Manchester. The camera shots are from the same angle so this is showing that not much ever changes in the street. The black and white picture scenes show that it looks quite boring and if we was to look at it now a days we would think it wasnt a plesent place to live. It also has no people in the scenes so it doesnt seem a very friendly place or family abinding.

In the 2010 title scenes shows a huge contrast since the first ones in 1961. the first still image shows a taxi in Manchester. This shows that it is a upcoming city, and it is quite wealthy to love there. It goes onto show a couple walking down the road with a bunch of flowers in the shot. This gives us the idea that it is a very plesent place to live and it is also very family orientated. The rovers return is shown in this, this is the main point of the steet.
