Skins-Overview

In the final episode of Skins, we firstly see Mini in the hospital still recovering after going into labour, although she has fallen out with her best friend Liv from previous history between her and her ex boyfriend. Liv tries to make up with Mini, attempting to talk to her just like old times, but fails to maintain a conversation with her. Meanwhile Alo is planning the perfect party for the exam results, with Mini in hospital, she is allowed to go to the party for one hour only. We soon see that she suffers from contractions and is rushed to hospital, and later on gives birth to her daughter with the support of Liv and boyfriend Alo.

Mini is one of the main characters in Skins, but is well known for her bitchy personality and unfriendly presence. We see her change though out series six, from a sly character, blossoming into a good friend of everybody's. Although Mini is a very fashionable character, since she became pregnant, she has been wearing more 'tramps' looking clothes, as none of hers if her. Her style now consists of tracksuit bottoms and an old hoodie, whereas before she would have worn minuscule skirts and revealing tops.

The genre of this television series is easily recognised as a teen drama, as all the characters are aged 17-18 yeas old. We can also tell this by the genre of music played in the background and at the many parties they attend. It is usually R&B, Dubstep, etc. Also the camera angles as the school is often shown with an 'Establishing Shot', showing the audience that most of the time the story is based at the teenagers school.
