Editing in DocMartin
- 1. EDITING IN ‘DOC MARTIN’ By Joel, Jordan, Beth, Amber and Meg.
- 2. LENGTH OF TAKES Longer shots were used to show the laid back 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 Eyeline match was used to put the audience in the 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.
