Mise-en-scène in Doc Martin

When observing the room that the first scene takes place in, I noticed that the colour of the wallpaper and floor is green. This indicates that the room is designed in an old traditional way. The suit worn by the doctor indicates that he is continually working and formal. The overalls worn by the father and son show that they're working and that it's their work uniform so must be worn. The boxes found on the screen indicate that the doctor may have recently moved in or is moving some items about to make sure that his house has been presented in a nice manor. As the plumbers were round the house, this could indicate that the house is old and that the plumbing system may not be working as well as it used too.

The girl who entered the room wore bright coloured clothing and had red in her hair. This shows that she is someone who is in the younger generation and may've moved out to the country as she isn't wearing traditional clothing.

As the Doc walked down to the police station, I observed that the buildings were old looking and made out of traditional brickwork. The walkway that followed the buildings was also narrow indicating that of a older setting.

When the Doc entered the police station, the policeman was hovering. This indicates that there is no major crime in the country and that the police officer has nothing else to do so he is hovering the station. This shows that country people obey the law and do not associate with trouble resulting in the policeman hovering.

Inside the police station, as with the room that was in the first scene, the colours used are dark and shades of green and brown. This shows that the police station is being traditional and sticking with the old colours that the village houses are based on.

As I observed the clip, I noticed that there were a few cars on screen but they were not moving and there was no sign of traffic.

People were also sitting down on the benches and relaxing showing that country people do not have any stress to worry about therefore they are more relaxed.

As the country people are more relaxed, the doctor carried around a prescription form in his pocket incase anyone wanted one.
