Shot Types in Doc Martin

In the Doc Martin clip there were many different shots used. Usually at the start of a programme there will be an establishing shot to show the viewers where they are but as this is just a clip, we don't know what part of the programme it was taken from. The clip starts at a master shot as Doc Martin walks in. They all have different statuses which are reinforced by the levels in which they're standing, sitting or crouching. Doc has the highest status so he stands, meaning everyone has to look up to him, The dad plumber is sitting so He looks up to Doc but down at his son and the son plumber is crouching under the sink so everyone looks down at him. There are many medium close ups in the start of this clip to show the emotions of the characters, Doc being a more moody, grumpy person and the dad plumber being more jolly and cheerful. As more people enter the room the shots start to become more diverse, they have over the shoulder shots while the son is on the telephone and talking to the woman and they have medium shots of the two plumbers at work with Doc in the background. When Doc starts his journey towards the police station, it shows him walking through the village, towards the camera, the camera then stops and he walks past it. As he continues walking you catch a glimpse of the scenery which it mountainous and in the country. You also hear seagulls which tells you that it's by the sea. Even though the camera was focused on Doc Martin, it showed the viewers where the clip from this programme is set so it is therefor an establishing shot. Later in the clip there is another establishing shot when Doc walks down the village towards the car which has houses in on mountains in the background. The camera then moves to make a medium close up of Doc and the woman he is talking to.
