Example of Mise En Scene: Skins

Stereotypical views are conformed to and challenged by the Mise en scene in the opening scene of Skins. The teenage boy, shown as the protagonist through the prolonged close up of his face in the first scene, immediately shows conformity to the stereotypical view of teenagers. His quilt covers depict a naked man and woman, with himself lying in the middle; not only does this show the view that teenagers are sexually charged, but also it conveys the message that as he is in the middle of the man and woman, his orientation is undecided. His bedroom is however simple and neat, which challenges the view that teenagers are messy; his floor is clear, the clothes are organised and everything is tidy. This contrast of conformity and challenge plays on the audiences' mind, and allows them to form their own opinions about teenagers in the scene.
