Mise on scene
Luther
The setting and location of the scene has few pieces to it firstly you see an outside shot and it is very dull and plain sticking to only greys and some other dull colours. They are seen in a two shot with huge skyscrapers in the background, this could show their insignificance. Furthermore the dull theme is carried on by the colour of the skyscrapers and the road behind them.
The interior of the scene is the women's flat, it is very masculine and functional. A stereotypical women's flat is more colourful and fun. It is very neat, tidy and space related as shown by a black hole poster and the telescope. This hobby is unusual as usually men have this hobby. The telescope could suggest she looks at a lot making her a voyeur.
Their costumes say a lot about them, Luther's costume is very smart and civilised with a grey coat, shirt, tie and jeans. It is all very fitted and suits his build while looking stylish. His hair is neat but easy to maintain. The woman's costume is something a business person would wear as it is completely black along with high heels. Her hairstyle is neat and she is wearing makeup showing she put some effort into how she looks.
Both characters in the scene face a power struggle. It is shown through the witty replies and actions they both use. The woman seems to be in charge in this scene because she always gets the last word in the conversation, she also uses a calmer volume and pace.
The placement of the characters in the scene is different to a normal two shot of a male and female, the women is placed lower in the frame compared to Luther (male); However she seems to have more control in that scene because he flinches when she touched him. They have an unusual relationship mostly because the male is the protagonist and the female is the antagonist.
Tony wears basic clothes as shown by his red jumper and trousers with white trainers, his t-shirts are kept very neatly in his draw folded up and placed like they are in a high end shop. This further extends the view that he is unusual and even suggests he has OCD. Tony's character in the scene could suggest he is almost monastic, which is further shown by the church bells which can be heard at the start of the scene. He wakes up before his alarm showing he does it the same a lot and then does his morning routine, working out, gets to the bathroom before his dad and helps his younger sister get inside and get changed for school. This starts the other side of Tony, he is seen staring at a woman getting changed, helping his younger sister do something wrong and teases his dad. This could show his more immature side. These actions suit his age more and show he is still young.
The actors in Skins are thought out very well as the mum and dad are both well recognised actors/actresses who have played roles in other medias. This goes beautifully with the rest of the program as there are a lot of funny moments.

Skins
The setting of skins is nearly all interior. The room includes weights and a mirror which is used in a mini montage of Tony's daily routine. These items would be in a typical teenager's room as he wants to impress the other sex, but his bed sheets would suggest he is bisexual as they have a picture of a man and women naked either side and him in the middle, this could also relate to the lighting on his face when he wakes up it is half dark and half light. The colours of his room are quite plain and boring and all the furniture seems set out neatly. There are posters of old films on the wall that most teenagers would not even know about. This could show his intelligence which is further backed up by him reading a degree level book on the toilet while he is only young.Tony wears basic clothes as shown by his red jumper and trousers with white trainers, his t-shirts are kept very neatly in his draw folded up and placed like they are in a high end shop.
