http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zda8Mt0GIs

In skins there are different indicators of homosexuality. Using sound there are indicators of ambient sound, dialogue and diagetic sound.

One character is seen to be alone from the rest of the group and seems to be an outcast, This is seen when you see the character outside on his own and the camera angle is above him making him seem like his less powerful than everyone else becuase of his sexual preference.

When his friends arrive the camera changes so that the three friends are on the same level indicating that they are now considered as equals. The characters shirt and the wall behind is yellow which is a connotation symbolising happiness however at the front we the audience see misery and segregation.

Gregory Crewsdon Image Review

The image is set in the forest area at night, this gives off a kind of mysterious theme. The image only contains one person and he seems to be digging up and going through boxes. There seems to be no clear motive as to why there are boxes in the forest or as to why he is in the forest in the first place. This image seems to be a big enigma becuase we as the reader can't find the motive behind it and it spurs us to go on to find the truth.When looking at




Denotation: The women is sitting  on a large pile flowers, with flowers in every direction completly filling up the kitchen
Connotation: She seems to be really bored and looks like she has no idea of what she is doing. She has a blank expression on her face and looks quite confused.

When looking at the image a bunch of different questions will automatically come to mind some of these may include:

• Why is she in the kitchen in he first place?
• Why is there a garden in the kitchen?
• Why isn't anyone else there with her?
