Tucker's Luck

1. Tucker has just woken up with a hangover after a night out with his friends. His mum wakes him up and gets him out of bed when he then gets ready. He goes to his friends house first but he is not at home, he then goes to another friends house where he sits at the table reading a newspaper, drinking tea and talking about the events of the night before.

2. Representations of youth culture in this clip is shown as lady as Tucker had a hard time getting out of bed and when he said he is having a day off, his mum said he does that everyday. Another representation is that they party a lot as he was hungover and found his jacket covered on sick from the night before. This may represent drinking alcohol as a sign of rebellion.

3. Mise-en-scene elements used to communicate the representations from producers to audience was the bed to present the representation of laziness, breakfast table with tray full of breakfast and milk to create authentic feel. The sunglasses are used to represent the hangover Tucker was suffering.

4. "I'm never having another drink"
"The bed would have to be on fire to shift him"
"Get up you lazy swine"
"I am never going down that place again"
"God you look awful"
"Like where to be sick"

5. Close shots when mum is speaking to emphasise her point about Tucker being lazy. Mid shots used to present mise-en-scene. Close shot used to show facial expression of Tucker when he is told he's been left with some money, this shows it is the reason for the rest of the day (episode) happening. Long shot to show where the characters are, therefore create a realistic view of the mis-en-scene, also gives the feel of a real house rather than a piece of set. Zooming in and low angles of the face, this gives the effect of superiority to show that Tucker is the main focus of the show. Long shot of him walking out the house, to present the realness of the show by displaying more than one house. Camera Pans along with walking character creates authentic effect for audience who may feel like they are moving with the character.

6. Straight cuts and long scenes to represent the simplicity and honesty of characters lives.

7. The youth culture can be seen as positive as they aren't being harmful as they would be now and it also shows that despite their laziness they do eventually get out and do things for themselves for example, Tucker takes his jacket to get cleaned and his friend makes breakfast whilst Tucker gets the kettle on.

8. The youth culture can be seen as dangerous due to the partying habits of the guys as alcohol can be harmful and cause many accidents.

9. Hegemony is present in this representation as the producers are in charge of what they wish to display to the public. They may present the youth as something they may not be. Tucker and his friends are representing the lazy alcoholic youths when there could be more youths that are the opposite.
