Doc Martin rewrite essay

In this essay I will be representing regional identity through camera, sound, editing and mise-en-scene. 

In the beginning of the clip there is a panning shot as the protagonist 'Doc Martin' and a female character talk in which the audience hears the diegetic sound of dialogue between the two characters in which there is a shot reverse shot. 

In the next scene, the audience hears the diegetic sound of laughing in which there is a pan from the sink to a mid-shot of the plumber, which the laughing emphasises that the plumber does not take his job seriously. The audience then hears the diegetic sound of dialogue in which the pace of the shot of the plumbers is slow to emphasise the use of metaphors such as "go with the flow" in which the mid-shot of Doc Martin is also slow to emphasise his confusion of the two plumbers idiolect and their way of doing things as Doc Martin is from London and has an upper class status, which is highlighted bu his smart attire of wearing a suit compared to the two plumbers in which their attire signifies lower class and them working low paid jobs, which emphasises that they are less educated than doc Martin, which puts Doc Martin in a hegemonic perspective. This is seen as a representational issue of regional identity as Doc Martin is seen as being a hierarchy in the community because of his status and the place that he is from. 

In the next shot, there is a close up of a clock being taken out of a box in which the audience hears the diegetic sound of happy, upbeat score, which emphasises the scene to be comical. The clock is symbolic to 'time being of the essence' as Doc Martin is used to working around the clock and the fact that time seems to be slower than in London, which this is a representational issue of regional identity. The camera angles are canted to emphasise Doc Martin's movements being quite frantic as he wants to settle quickly in this new environment in which this foreshadows to a mid-shot of a dog jumping through the window in which the shots are fast paced to emphasise Doc Martin getting rid of the dog, which highlights the fact that he would not be getting used to this new environment that he is placed with. This is also emphasised as there is a tilt upwards to a point of view shot of a group of female characters dressed in cheap inappropriate clothing, highlighting that they are careless with their appearance compared to Doc Martin in which this is a representational issue of regional identity as this suggests that the area they are situated in highlights that the young females are careless with their appearance. 

In the next shot there is a long shot of Doc Martin exchanging the sound of diegetic dialogue with the two plumbers in which the pace of the shots with the plumbers is slow paced; emphasisng that life is more relaxed in their town. The plumbers are still relaxed as the water pipe bursts in which Doc Martin becomes frantic as the use of continuity editing emphasises the fast pace of the shots in which the audience hears the diegetic sound of the phone ringing and the diegetic sound of dialogue in which there is a mid-shot; emphasising Doc Martin's facial expression of being angry as he tries to handle the chaos in which a chaotic environment is what he is used to. There is a zoom in on the dog in which the sound of diegetic low orchestral score emphasises that he has had enough of the day. 

In the next scene there is a tracking shot as Doc Martin is walking the dog in which the audience can hear the non-diegetic sound of happy, upbeat score; emphasisng the scene to be comical.

There is a pan as Doc Martin walk's into the police station in which there is a tilt upwards from a vacuum to the policeman; emphasisng that there is not that much that goes on in that town in which there is a shot reverse shot as the diegetic sound of dialogue exchanges between the characters. 

There is a long shot of a female character in which the diegetic sound of score stops in which the audience hears the diegetic sound if dialogue is exchanged between her and Doc Martin, which emphasises that Doc Martin is being more respectful to her as her idiolect is equivalent to Doc Martin.
