There is a number of different shots used throughout the five minute clip from Skins that present the characters as reckless and at a confused aged which is full of lust and a representation of their age.
An establishing shot starts of the scene. Three boys are walking into a house, however give the impression that they are intoxicated as they appear not to be able to walk in a straight line representing their age to be reckless. Within the shot their also seems to be quite a bit of litter on the lawn which gives the impression that their age group don’t care about the environment, again they are reckless. The non-diagetic sound, the music in the background suggests they are getting up to no good due to the bouncy, jolly music which may mean they're going to ‘clown’ about.
The scene then switches to them going into the house where they give the idea that they are disrespectful as they just walk in, also leaving their shoes on which can be seen to be disrespectful as well. There are empty bottles in the long shot which agrees with the stereotype that teenagers these days ignore things which may have a negative impact on their health, they are naive and prefer to have a good time whilst at the age they are at. A point-of-view shot is on screen when one of the boys takes the phones left on the table. Many people link the disgrace of stealing with teens and this supports the ideas and makes the young males look very disrespected towards others.
The scene then changes to further into the party where everyone is dancing in a room. Th camera shot used is an over-the-shoulder shot or mid shot which shows the view from one of the characters. Age is represented in this scene by the type of dancing and music they are listening to. It is jolly and quick-paced just like the teenagers are. All the clothes worn in this scene are very colourful which could represent the colourful personality of the teenagers. It may also mean that they are all happy and living a joyful life at this moment in time, which of course is a representation of age that teenagers party all the time and like to have fun.
