Point – your comment about the area of representation
e.g.  Youth is represented through diegetic sound.

Evidence – your micro element that tells us this
e.g. The dialogue is colloquial.

Explain – link the two
e.g.  This conforms to a stereotypical view of young teenagers, that they are rebellious in speaking their own language.

Skins Analysis Clip 2

When the police turn up at the scene noting that they are older and automatically having more authority over the youths, the scene then turns to chaos. This is shown through the fast scenes, jumps cuts and the increased speed and volume of the music. With all the elements previously mentioned this connotes the older people have authority, however younger people are fighting to be older and in return trying to get more freedom in life.

skins clip analysis 1

Youth is represented through the use of non- diegetic sound of rocky and loud music. The music reflects the action in the scene, going from quiet rocky music when the situation is calm then heavy loud music when the scene spirals out of control. The use of music in the scene supports the stereotypes that not only do youths like listening to heavy music but also connotes the vibrancy of their personality.

inbetweeners notes

Disability – The Inbetweeners
Gender representation – women are being objectified – (Laura Mulvey)
Using the term gay – representation through sexuality through the derogative use of gay
Cool guys being proper lads whereas the geeks are playing Frisbee
Male sounds of the men playing football
Verisimilitude is shown through the scene being shot in the park
The dialogue- breaking leg joke suggests that there is something going to happen in the scene
Binary oppositions – active people walking around then the static of the girl in the wheelchair  also she could not run away from the Frisbee however the will could run from the cool lads.
Eye line match
The disability is also a disability for the disabled girl
The men are also coming in to save the women
