After viewing a 10 second clip from the first ever episode of skins, we, as an audience, are able to gather many questions about Tony, who is being introduced in this scene.
There is firstly, no dialect in this scene as it is purely based around sound to influence thoughts and connote questions as an audience. The clip begins with an extreme close-up camera shot of Tony’s eyes, wide open, the camera then begins to slowly zoom out. Whilst this is happening, church bells ring, an asynchronous use of sound, this is a cultural code which triggers British civillians to believe that this day is a Sunday and a church service is probably congregating. This, as an audience, makes us question why a teenage boy is awake so early on a Sunday, as stereotypically, teenagers are portrayed as being lazy and useless. This could be interpreted as an enigma code.
As the camera zooms out, we see that the bed has not been slept in, it is clinically tidy, which makes us question, was the character awake all night? or could he have possibly just gotten to bed?
The most obvious thing to notice about Tony's bedroom is the two clear naked pictures of a man and a woman side by side, printed on his bed sheet. This raises an enigma code, questionng how Tony's parents would react to the quilt being in his room?

Matt. Try to mention a bit more about the mise en scene in the sequence. You do mention his tidy bed but what else is there?
