Skins series 1 and 3 Trailers
The Skins trailers, at first glanced seems very disturbed, as it consists of naked, drunk teenagers kissing each other. These trailers of skins dominantly conveys emotions and characters through camera work and sound. The opening scenes for Series 1 trailer consists of a lot of partying, drug taking and characters having sex.
The shots in this trailer are only a couple seconds long which makes the scenes exciting, additionally it reflects on the situation as everyone is having sex and taking drugs. It reinforces the idea that they is having fun and going wild.
The use of non diegetic sound of the dialogue is very helpful as it explains the narrative, moreover it adds validity because we hear it from the character. Furthermore the music makes the trailers more intense and continues the theme as its the same music as the actual soap.
The trailer portrays the storyline through the nine main character points of view and takes the viewer through each characters storyline, which I think is effective because it helps create a division between the characters and that they are very different. Therefor I have decided to do it this way because then our target audience can relate to the soap because every teenger has problems such as the ones in skins.
The trailers follow the conventions of a soap as it uses only the important shots from the series getting the main storylines, giving it a lot of impact, this leads the audience to carry on watching. The other conventions it follows is the music they use is dramatic in the 3rd series trailer reflecting the different situations, whilst in the 1st series trailer the music is very upbeat.

I like skins and I think it is a very good show for teenagers as it is about teen life in and out of collage which would appeal to other teenagers with the same issues. I will be using the same type of plots as skins as they reflect on real life situations for teenagers, as my show is about the students of the school. Although I will not so much as copy the storylines, but I actually didn't watch skins before so I thought of the storylines myself but I have only realised they have been done by other shows.
