Editing
Continuity editing is used at the start of the scene and in the middle as the action carries on into each scene to show that each scene is linked and the storyline carries on. It is shown at the start to show that something in this scene has happened before for them all to be in there. Shot-reverse-shot is also used this is done in the first shown when the 2 plumber characters are talking to each other this is done so that it shows the conversation between 2 characters and the continuity they have when talking to each other. It moves quite slow to show that there is no intensity in the conversation and that it is an everyday conversation that they could maybe have in a different environment. Fast Pace Editing was also needed to be used when the tap breaks and it needs fixing, in the first scene. This would have been used to make the scene move on in a very fast pace and to show the audience that they are rushing around trying to sort the problem. The fast pace shoes urgency and intensity. Cuts were particularly used when Doc Martin walks around the town and meets different people. This was done to represent his personality as he is sharp and to the point so in this scene the camera matches his actions. It also shows how quick he needs to get to know people in the Village as he is the new Doctor and needs to come to terms with people’s conditions. Another technique is A Tracking Shot this was used when he was walking down the street past the school and he looks into the window at the teacher. This was done to show continuous action and lets the audience feel involved in his movement and understand the purpose to where he is going and why.
Sound
Digetic Sound is the first technique that is used as there are monologues and duologues a long with dialogue in the first scene and it continues through each scene as different characters begin to speak and start conversations. They also have accents which would be found in the West County. This was done so that the storyline flows and it shows a typical small town in which everyone knows each other and can have a conversation despite how much they know each other. The accents also help to set the scene and show where it is set as most people talk in the same accent and know each other Non-diegetic sound was the second technique noticeable as there was constant music played in the background of the scenes. This helped set the scene as the music was very regional as it was a typical stereotyped music of what would be listened to and found at the corners of the Country (around the sea). The music also follows his footsteps so it is continuous and has a beat that follows how he walks. When he is angry, the music is fast and upbeat and represents his state of mind. Sychronous Sound was used when there sounds such as water splashing everywhere and people screaming when the tap burst. This was done to show what is actually happening and make the scene seem realistic. There was also seagull sound which would only usually be expected to be found around the sea and around beaches where people would go on holiday. A telephone and dog barking also helped show where the scene was taking place. This would show that they are in a seaside town and to show what was in and around the scene and to set the atmosphere and aid the understanding of an audience. They also shouted when the tap broke and used a loud tone with urgency, this shows distress and panic about what to do next and rush around because no one knew what to do with what had happened, Soundbridges were followed through on each scene as the music was continuous and so was the speaking of each character. This was also done to show continuity and it also shows a stereotype of a seaside town as nothing really changes and there aren’t that many new faces for people as every knows each other due to how small the town really is.
Camera
An Establishing Shot was used when the greenery was shown and the Country houses in the background of Doc Martin’s conversation with the lady asking for a prescription. This shows off the environment as it all looks stereotypical with buildings on the rocks of cliffs and lots of greenery and hills around like there aren’t many people living there. Medium shots were also used when he walked past the school building and he looked at the teacher in the building. This helps the audience to understand what his presence around the town does and how he walks when he is angry. It also helps an audience to understand his characteristics by his walk and his posture. A point-of-view shot was used when he was staring into the classroom at the teacher and she stares back. When they look, it is shown by their expression that they clearly know each other, which helps and audience to understand that there is a back story to this couple and something has previously happened and something will mostly be carried on from this. The Doc always has his chest up when he is looking into the camera and talking to someone form the camera angle. He has an almost perfect posture which shows his background and where he was brought up compared to how the people in Cornwall live. They have a more relaxed environment. Whereas, the Doc coming from the city means he’s more stressed and up tight.
Mise-en-scene
There were a variety of costumes in these scenes. Doc Martin is wearing a very pristine suit that is very formal and smart. This shows that he is from the city where standards are very high and everyone cares for their appearance as they are meeting new people nearly every day. This suit does not match the regional identity. This is in comparison to how everyone in a small town knows each other and doesn’t care as much for their appearance due to the fact that their jobs are quite hands on. The Plumbers are wearing boiler suits which shows their job role and how informal their jobs can be due to how they keep their suits and how dirty they are. The setting is also very stereotypical as there are a long line of shops that would be found by the seaside such as a sweet shop and a souvenir shop. This shows the audience that all seaside towns can look the same and are made for tourists. There are also very old fashioned cottages and they are made of stones that are multi-coloured. These would more likely been seen in a seaside town as they are very vibrant and intriguing for tourists to be lured in by. The props are very outdated such as the hoover being in the police station and the computer that is in the background. These show how far behind old fashioned towns can be on technology and how they can’t keep up to date on advances due to their lack of resources and people. The last prop used was the tools and sink that signify what their jobs entailed and why they were placed in this scene.
