Analysis of 'Skins' Series 6-Episode 5



This mid shot shows Minnie's friends to be getting drunk on the cocktails supplied by Minnie's father. They do not enjoy the drinks yet continue to drink them showing their aim is just to get drunk rather than have a civilized drink. This shot is effective as it establishes their situation highlighting their out casting outfits/looks from the rest.

This close up over the should shot shows Minnie getting angry at her friends for showing up. This shows she is aware of their behavior and knows from their past times it wont go well, especially with free drinks supplied. This shot is effective as it shows Minnie's facial expression so we are aware of how shes feeling.

This long shot shows Minnie in 'sexual contact' with one of her                 Fathers colleagues showing her intermate self despite being pregnant with another persons baby. This perceives youth in a negative light as sleeping around tends to be negative trait and stability is key in a baby's life and it does not look like she can offer this. The dark lighting creates a negative atmosphere showing that it may not have the best outcome.

After this encounter we see Minnie get upset by the whole situation. Her friends 'gatecrashing' and her encounter with the her Dads colleagues causes her to become overwhelmed on top of being pregnant. Similarly this shot portrays darkness reflecting the situation.
