Shot types in Doc Martin.

At the beginning of the Doc Martin clip, the Master shot was used to show the statuses of each character shown. The way this was done was by showing the Doc walking in, while the father sat at a lower level and the son at an even lower level by kneeling. Once this master shot was shown to let the audience understand the action that was going on, the close up shot was used. When using the close up shot, the actors eyes were shown to look up or down at the other character, even though the characters were not shown the audience was able to tell by the directions of the eyes, while this conversation continued. The medium shot was quickly followed through, as the younger boy which seemed to have the lowest status finally stood up to show the same status as the doctor. This only happened when the conversation deepened and the younger boy seemed to show a more higher knowledge in the topic than his own father did. After this, when the pipe was shown to explode, the master shot was used briefly to get a limited action shown. Once the incident was shown, the shot was followed by a medium close up shot of the doctor shouting. By using a medium close up of the shouting, the shot was able to show the audience the doctors reaction but also feel it as well. When the shouting had stopped, the shot used was the Establishing shot. This shot was only based upon the doctor walking up the village pathway and past the 'Beach shop'. This shot would show the audience what the village was like and where while also using audio clips to hint this in. This would be the seagull noises. To lead this action on, the clip was shown to use a medium close up shot of the doctor as he seemed to show a more aggressive behaviour towards the police man. This shot then was followed by a shot reverse shot as it flickered between both the police man and Doctor as they continued the subject. Once this was all finished up, the clip showed a extreme long shot of the doctor 'storming' down a hill towards the school window. This was used for a lead up to the close up shot of the doctor showing emotions towards the teacher inside the school.
