Mise - en - Scene (Tony from the TV drama Skins)

Looking at the short clip for about two minutes of the first episode of Skins season one, I picked out the following things about the general Mise-en-Scene:

  • Minimalist furniture in his room
  • Bright lighting 
  • Effy's room is dark and very full
  • Confident posture 
  • Very put together 
  • Bed sheets show interests or hobbies
  • White is everywhere in his room
  • The mirror and weights suggests that he cares about his appearance 
  • Clean face and neat hair when he has just woke up
  • Flawless, bed sheets are not creased, clothes laid out like a shop
  • Relationship with his dad- Tony's in charge, he is very manipulative and often sticks up for his sister
  • Woke up before his alarm
  • His room is very tidy which is not stereotypical for a boy of his age
  • At the beginning half his face is lit suggesting that there is two sides to him
  • He reads Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre which shows him as smart, intellectual and pretentious
  • Birds eye view at the beginning 
  • Church bells appear which could show the characters innocence or more likely his monastic ways
  • He lies in the middle of a man and women giving the audience the thought that maybe he is bi-sexual  
  • Methodical
  • Un-creased sheets
  • Stylish; red t-shirt, black jumper, khaki chinos, white trainers and a low maintence haircut
  • Escher calendar 
  • 8 1/2 Federico Fellini which is a film about an art gallery, unusual for a boy
  • Everything is well thought out 
  • Makes him stand out from other boys of his age range
