My Screenshot

My picture is from 'Skins' series 3. The sub genre it would be in would be 'teen drama' because it is about following the lives of teenagers and what they get up to- which is mainly partying and drinking.
I chose this picture because i think it is a steriotypical of teenagers today. It demonstrates underage drinking and lads having a laugh.
We can clearly see its in a pub by the background of all the glasses and bottles and also a till.
I have chosen this particular slide because one of the main characters called 'Cook' is the one downing the pint and spilling it everywhere, he is one of my favourite characters in the series as he is always the one up to mischief.
We know he is a teenager by the way he is dressed and also because we know his real name isn't "Cook' its a nickname.
The background is blurred so we focus mainly on Cook drinking. His friend Freddie in the background on the left who is overlooking him thinking he is an idiot. There is also balloons in the background to show its his 18th birthday or a party. I think he is downing the pint because it is his first legal pint.
Freddie is to the side so we know its not going to be all about him, its all about Cook.
This shot is at the start of the programme so we know it is going to be all about Cooks birthday because he is the main focus of the shot.
