Regionalism

Camera-
Some of the shots in this clip are shown from the view of Doc Martin, this matches the whole clip as in general the audience is following his story and movement throughout the day in his new village. The fact that we sometimes get to see it from his point of view lets us see the difference between the people from him and how he is almost like the odd one out. In some shots seeing from his point of view really puts the audience in the place of him and we can then see the real difference between him and the people he interacts with. Without doing this we might not be able to really understand just how different the people are. We can clearly see that he is more intelligent and is more real than anyone else. Overall the fact that we get to see from Doc Martins view and some points during the clip lets us see just how big the difference is between him who is from London and the people around him.

The camera follows him about wherever he goes thought the whole clip which first of all shows his important in this village and that he has a very high importance compared to the people around him. This could also represent that he overall is more intelligent than anyone else and people come to him and we watch him be in control of every situation that he is in. The fact that he is in every seen really lets us see how he is viewed differently to everyone and they all interact with him in different ways. As we are following him we get to know more about him and how he thinks. From doing this we can tell that he is unsure or even a bit out of control of the things around him which then tells us that he may feel uncomfortable as he is not originally from ere and maybe he is having a hard time adjusting to the new people around him and how the act.

 Mise en scene-
The costumes in this clip lets us know a lot about both the people who live there and also Doc Martin, the workers who are there to help him are dressed in a common plumber’s outfit ready for work whereas Doc Martin is dressed more smart and professional in a suit. This lets us see that the two workers and him have very different jobs. The workers are rough but Martin is completely the opposite, this could be letting us know that because he is from London he Is more on the Business side and more formal and has a high respecting job as people who work in London or live are usually seen as the business type with a serious job. On the opposite side you have the people working for him who are not from London but live more by the sea with fields and in a village. These two workers might have the stereotype of being less intelligent as they might be known to have less important jobs and they might be seen as people who would have more hands on jobs than anything else with a higher importance. It’s clear that Doc Martin would get paid more than the two workers just from how the characters are dressed. Overall from the way that they dress it is clear that because these people come from two different places they are expect to have a certain level of work and therefore the type of work that they have could also be repressing their intelligence and how the man from London must be smart and have a nice job compared to the people who work in a village.
The actors are extremely important as they show how the character is being represented, for example in this clip the workers overall give a don't care attitude towards their work while Doc Martin seems to be the intelligent one who is trying to sort out the problems. The workers seem slow and Doc Martin seems to be quick and more real and down to earth. The workers give this impression by their actions, one sits and eats and doesn't really look bothered and the other one also looks clueless. Because they act in this way we can see that this people don't really care how people see them, this could be because they are too thick to really understand the importance of doing the job right. The reason that I can tell that Doc Martin is more educated and advanced is because of his reaction to the men, he seems angry and confused which let us know that he on the other hand does care how the job is done and he does also care how he looks as he wants things to go right so he doesn't look stupid if they mess it up. The way they all act really shows the difference in how people from different places see themselves and also how they want to be seen. Doc Martin wants to be respected and so he plays how someone who would want to be would so the audience can clearly see that the he is more advanced maybe because he comes from London where you have to be like that as looking in control is very important.
