Tal Rosner

The fifth season of the BAFTA-award winning title sequence for the Channel 4 series. This year, for the 3rd time - an entirely new cast is introduced. The main objective in the 5th season titles was to feature the new set of characters, whilst rooting them in the already-existing Skins world. Exterior locations vary from the Bristol channel muddy marches to a car scrap yard, combined with interior shots of bedrooms and sunrise-timelapse. An additional element is the projection of the Skins graphics on the actors in a studio, which was then edited into the sequence. The title shoot was directed by Tal with the help of cameraman Adam Woodhall. Different endings again highlight the main characters for each episode.

Format: HD, 30 sec.

Skins theme music by Segal.
