Audience




I agree with this statement to a certain extent. The reason i do is because of the mass production that big institutions like Bauer Media create. Whilst Bauer is an international company it can still target the particular audience for all of its magazines.

Skins Extract Analysis

The scene in Maxi's flat really helps to show the disabilities that Tony carries. The camera angles and shots are a massive contribution to the portrayal of his state of mind. There are obviously a lot of shot reverse shots because there is a lot of conversation and use of facial expressions to set the mood. One of the shots that aids the effects of the disabilities is where the camera focus's on the food that tony is eating. The reason it does this is because his brain injuries are so severe that he has forgotten the correct way to eat his food. Also, the camera is mostly focused on tony's face, even when Maxi'x mum is talking to him; this allows us to monitor Tony's reactions to Maxis mum when he can't remember who she is or previous events that she recalls before Tonys accident. Also when Maxi cuts up Tony's dinner for him, the camera is really drawn to this too represent the disorder.
