MARTIN’
By Joel, Jordan, Beth, Amber and Meg.

2. LENGTH OF TAKES

attitude of Cornwall.
 Shorter takes depicted the stress of Doc Martin,
when the dog broke in.
 This indicates a juxtaposition in personalities and
ideals between The Doctor and the locals.

3. EYELINE MATCH

perspective of Doc Martin, Most evidently, when
chaos is occurring around him.
 For example, When the sink’s water sprays out,
and when the dog breaks in.
 This gives the audience a reason to almost
empathise with the main character.

4. INSERT
 Insert’s are used to focus on Doc Martin’s
confusion of the other characters.
 This could be used to show that he is still adapting
to his surroundings and is used to applying a lot of
focus to everything people are saying
 This signifies the importance of seriousness in Doc
Martin.

5. INVISIBLE EDITING
 Invisible Editing creates a sense of normality and
makes the scene flow without the audience
knowing.
 This is used to highlight the fact that although he is
in a new area and still adapting, he appears to be
getting on with it.
 For example when he takes the dog to the police
station, many different shots are used but they go
unnoticed due to well executed match on action.
