The Tv drama Skins is aimed at an audience of the similar age to the characters. Therefore the representation of youths isn't negative or over blown but realistic. For example when Tony is on the phone to friends he swears on regular occasions, ' Yours are fucking funny'. However when he speaks to Sid's Dad he is polite. This shows the respect that is shown towards adults. This is generally a strong representation of today's youths. Sid's Dad however is shown as a bad example by swearing at Sid straight after. This shows that some of the characters are possibly influenced by bad parenting. The start of the scene shows Tony playing his music very loud in the morning which angers his Dad. He also swears a lot such as 'Every fucking morning' and the language and anger represents the stress of having a teenager.
Tony is shown walking and talking on his mobile. which shows he has no time to sit and chat, this shows the fast pace of life that teenagers lead. Panning and tracking shots also add to the pace by following him wherever he goes.

Jake, I'm glad to see you're considering target audience in relation to representation. When developing this piece, you might want to detail micro sooner- remember Representation: Micro: Macro: Representation. At the moment, you end with a micro point.
