Difference between Soaps and Series

Diary of Ann Frank’
Has focuses on one progressing story. Which soap do not do, soaps tend to change and switch between different subplot, so that the audience doesn’t become restless. The series has narration throughout each episode which adds to the drama, while soaps tend to stick with straight dietetic sound, which is recorded at the same time as it is shot. Series also have a Main protagonist which the camera follows throughout the show. Soaps don’t have a main protagonist, and doesn’t revolve around one single character. The lighting in Ann Frank is a lot darker and adds to the dramatic tension. Soaps use more natural light to give it a sense of realism, and because it’s also cheaper to use.
Grading is used throughout Diary of Ann because it makes it look crisper and more polished. Have more sound effects than soap and the acting are at a higher standard than in soap.

Does Skins represent young people?

Skins doesn’t represent young people as a whole, it is a serials that is grossly over exaggerated. It presents young people as a bunch of foulmouthed inconsiderate – and to some existent even criminal. Skins very much carry’s the notion of ‘Generation whatever.’ It generalizes young people, using stereotypes that misrepresent us. The three characters in the episode ‘last bus’ are wearing scruffy clothes and swear and curse – and there is no consequences for their actions, instead Skins feels like it is almost incentivising this behaviour.
The three youths than processed to break into a car that doesn’t belong to them. This showing that they are criminals, who don’t care about the law – or anything else of that matter, and whilst in the car the boys become louder and more obnoxious.
In the morning the boys awake and one of them begins to urinate over someone else’s property, and when the owner of the house comes out he is wearing a suit and tie, which is a large contrasted between him and the youth. Even know his property is being vandalised, the man says nothing, and the youth gets away wit hit.
The three boys seem to be from a working class Background, and the makers of skins are very much stereotyping the youth from that background. It totally demonises the youth and makes them out to look like uncaring, unsociable vandals.

A young adult is a term that is not offensive to teenagers, shows that we are becoming mature.
Youth is a term that is vague in its meaning, youth doesn’t really tell you how one the person is, exact that there’re reasonably young.
A kid is a patronizing term for teenagers, as it is commonly used when talking about very young children. Makes us sound immature and incompetent.
Generation whatever is also another demeaning term for teenagers for it generalises us, and puts us into this category of lazy, uncaring people.
Generation why should I care is very similar to generation whatever; it depicts us as a group self-centred people that have no attention span, and must be spoon fed all our information.
