Skins is a UK television drama that is based around the lifestyle of three young aged men. I will
discuss the codes and conventions associated with the drama, describe the drama in terms of
tone, style and other categories such as the target audience. I will then discuss the forms of
language used in this drama and how it contributes to the media text. I will finally conclude
with discussing if the television drama was portrayed fairly or biased.
The visual codes used in this television series include lower class clothing, rebellious actions
and over dramatic events. However the symbolic codes used in this particular extract are
the cannabis use, the sustained eye contact between the main characters and the
woman in the car and the skateboard sequence. These codes finally create the
conventions of this clip being humerus sections and being generally over exadurated. This
altogether creates a comedy series with various styles.
The styles included in this series are a modernized environment, a London cockney
accent and simple yet effective humor. This altogether contributes to a young aged target
audience due to its simplicity and rebellious events which sounds appealing to the younger
groups of today's society.
This series finally depicts young English men with the stereotype as somewhat witty, rebellious
and passionless. This is positively presented while being biased. It is positively presented due
since it is a comedy which includes positive humor. However presented with great bias since it
only depicts a fraction of today's young society.
This concludes that the television drama 'Skins' uses its codes and conventions to entertain
the audience. This also in the meantime influences the audience that people of a young age
behave in such a manor with clearly gives them a bias viewpoint of today's young society.
