The promotional trailer for Skins represents young people in several ways through its camera work, editing, sound, and mise-en-scene. The camera remains neutral with a documentary style to give the impression that the viewer is at the party. Quick cuts between scenes suggest young people live in the moment. The soundtrack implies they are uncontrollable and alone. Mise-en-scene frequently shows drug and alcohol use, sexual situations, and fun but irresponsible behavior to portray young people as pleasure-seeking and out of control at times.
