Mise on Scene Example - Skins

The mise on scene of the protagonists room conforms and challenges the stereotype of this particular age group. The first shot we see of the protagonist shows him in bed under his duvet cover of a naked man and women, suggesting that teenagers are very much sexually charged, this conforms with the stereotype of youth. He is purposely placed in the middle of the two naked bodies, this could suggest that the boy is alone and confused about his sexuality, this conforms with the stereotype of the teenage years. Natural lighting is used through this shot, this is used to give a sense of realism and to give the teenage audience the idea that this is a real life situation.
