Regional identity in doc martin

Regional identity is constructed in the doc martin clip you can see loads of different regional identity that is shown in the clip just in the way people act, drees and speak this can show a lot about a person and where they are from.

Camera

There is an establishing shot at the very start it shows a dated doctors surgery and shows the different ways in which people dress, looking at doc martin he stands out due to the way that the camera angle makes him look a lot taller than all the other people in the shot this may be done to show power like he is in charge also the camera is focus on the speaker all the way through the clip this makes the audience can tell who is speaking quickly. Also, an establishing shot is taken when the dot martin is walking out of the police station this shows the viewer where he is and what thee place looks like and makes it look like he does not fit in.

Editing

There is a lot of jump cuts that are used when doc martin goes to a different location in the village for example when he leaves with the stray dog from the surgery we see him grab the dog and then he is nearly to the police station where he is taking the dog when we see the next shot of him. This makes everything happen quicker and not get dragged out so there for keeps the users interested in the episode.

Sound

There is synchronised sound when the bigger man helping to mend the sink makes it spray water everywhere we hear the water going everywhere and doc martin when he is shouting to get a tool to fix it whilst he stops it going everywhere with a cushion. There is also synchronised sound when doc is walking down the street from the police station you can hear the wind and the sea in the background this adds to the image of where he is and makes him stand out more from the locals.

 mies-en-scene

At the star, there is low light this makes the surgery look dated and makes it look like it was not very well looked after before, also it makes doc martin stand out. Also in the surgery, you can see that the two men have period cloths that are old and scruffy and is typical for the location of the place being Cornwall and they all have a southerner accent, doc martin stands out as he is from the city and does not have a southern accent and looks very smart. Also, the scenery is dated as all the houses are dated this makes you see that this extract is set in the past also the surgery backs this up as well as it is dated as well. Also, Burt is said to have a lot of knowledge from the lady with the boxes of vegetables she says he is good to know but when he was asked what bodmin means he couldn’t explain it this shows that h8e is not well educated but he is thought to be

Representation of age in Humans

Humans is where people have synths this is a life like robot that dose all the stuff that you need it to it can even drive. Synths only represent age in there looks as they don’t age so there for they show no signs of aging. In the clip the children treat her as a slave and the girl even says that she is a slave they are just accepted in to society by most people but the family’s mum disagrees with it and wants it out of there house. There mum looks quite old and does not want a synth this shows that the main elder person in the family does not want one and disagrees with the technology and notices something weird about it like it has feelings.

Camera

There is an establishing shot of the family sitting at the table then when the synth starts to lath they all smile but when she does not stop you get a perspective shot from the family’s dad this allows the user to see all their reactions to her not stopping. Also, when they all speak at the table the camera focuses on the speaker, and the synth when it speaks it always has the camera focused on it.

Editing

There is a cut shot strata away as it jumps to breakfast this draws in the view and keeps their attention. Also, there is a shot-reverse-shot this is used at the table when the synth starts lapping we see her perspective and the family’s dad’s perspective this adds a weird tension between them both. CGI is also used to make the synths look like people but you can see they are robots.

Sound

There is diegetic sound when the synth burns the lady so she does not burn the little child. There is also synchronised sound when they are all sitting at the table as you can hear them eating and peoples calculary hitting their plate. Also, when they meet the elderly man who has an original synth he speaks to the synth like it is his child and call him son he also has sad music on when he is talking to him in the wardrobe and the synth is reminding the old man about his wife and memory’s he has. Thee sad music also adds in thee effect of how much the synth means to him and the synth is the only one that he has left and he sees him more as family than a robot.

Mise-en-scence

In the house the lighting is very dark this makes the synth stand out and gives the feeling that it is evil as well due to the way that it stands out. The synth also looks un real and too perfect to look like a real person as its skin looks perfect with no imperfections. It is also always well-dressed this makes it look smart all the time and the synth also looks like it is always stressed in the way that it never looks relaxed. In the elderly man’s house the synth shows intelligence over the owner as it can remember things that the owner cannot. Also his synth is the older synth and it looks a lot more relaxed than the others and also is well dressed but you can notice mistakes it has made as his collar is out on one side and in on the other so this makes it look like he makes mistakes whereas the new ones don’t seem to make mistakes.

Class and status in Downton abbey

Watching the Downton abbey clip we get an in site to the different classes of the time and the way that society is split up. You can see that the lord of the manor holds a very high status in society so he can afford to have butlers a cooks for him, you can see by what he wears he is very high up in society where as his servants are of a lower class and don’t have the luxury’s that he does. The lord of the manor is very chilled out and does not have to worry about anything so when he is walking down the stairs we can see he is very child where as his servants are downstairs rushing to get all of his stuff ready like ironing his papers and making his breakfast.

Camera shot

At the very start it uses an establishing shot that allows us to know that it is set in a manor house that has very nice grounds surrounding it so all ready this allows the watcher to see that this is owned by a very wealthy person/family. When we get in to the manor house we see one of the lady’s that live there and she is very chilled out and we see a point of view shot as if looking through her eyes at the person delivering the papers, then she rings the bell for breakfast and we see a wide shot of all of his servants and as soon as the bell goes we see the rush begin and then a focusing shot on the speaker is used to make it clear who is speaking. There is also a shallow focusing shot that is used on the man ironing the papers when he reads the paper this helps to make his face expression stand out on the screen.

Sound

At the very start there is background music that is classical piano music this adds to the way we look at the status of the owners as the music is a high class music of the time, the music is also very relaxed and calm. We also get synchronous sound when the push bike is going past with the delivery of the news paper on the old cobbled road. When they find out about the sinking of the titanic in the paper one of his daughters gives him a telegraph and at this moment the music speeds up this adds tension and makes you feel as if the telegram will be bad news, the music then takes over at the end when they realise that james and Patrick where on the titanic and it seems that they were not picked up the music then takes over and this adds tension to the views and helps to shown the emotion in the rooms.

Editing

There is a cut shot used right at the start as it jumps from being outside the manor house watching the man delivering the paper to being in one of the lady’s rooms in the manor house this keeps the viewer interested and gives them an insight to what is going on as they use a cut shot to go through the different classes/people jumping from different places in the manors ground. Also cross cutting is used to go from the lord of the manor and the servants to show the different actions for example he is very relaxed walking down his stairs whereas the servants are inn a rush to get everything ready for him. Fast pace editing is used when the lord of the manor gets given the telegram this adds tension to the audience as it gives off a message that it is bad news.

Mise-en-scence

When watching the clip, it is very easy to pull out the people in lower class to higher class, just looking at their clothes you can tell who is in the higher class. For example, the lord of the manor is wherein a very well fitting suit that looks very smart also his servants are not of a high class but they do dress in a very smart manner as they are seen by him where as his cleaners and cooks are not seen by him their clothes are a lot more basic and don’t look very smart or good fitting. There is also a family sort of relationship shown with the servants that are working in the manor house this gives a family sort of feeling. Also all of the props used in the manor house fits in with the era of the set making it look more realistic.

Hotel Babylon

The clip of hotel Babylon that we watched in lesson shows immigration officers coming in to find all of the illegal immigrants. The main immigration officer is the antagonist as he has come to take away the workers that are illegal immigrant, this is very important as this is used to make the viewer have feelings for the illegal immigrants so this is key to the way that we see the scene. The lady at the end that starts arguing with them taking him away is the protagonist and is trying to make them let him go. Also they don’t treat the man they are taking with any respect as they drag him out of the place like an animal and it makes him look worthless, when the lady asks them to let him go he reply’s with its all a game this makes him make it sound like they are all worthless and have no values and it’s just a game to catch them so it makes it sound like they are animals and the immigration officers are hunters.

Camera shots

The first shot is a close up shot on the immigration officer and it gives this image that he is an evil man as his face is very strata and he does not smile so he is here for an important reason. When the antagonist gets to the hotel desk the light shines on to the reception lady’s face and she looks like she is relaxed and happy where as when the light gets pointed at the antagonist we see him as a not very nice person who is very strait to the point and needs to get his way. Also when all of the immigrants are hiding in the staff room it gives a wide angle shot that gets them all in and makes them look like a family. it Also a hand-held camera is used when they are running around the building this makes it feel like you are ruining as well as it feels like you are looking through someone else’s eyes. Also steady camera is used as even when they are running it is very smooth this allows the user to watch a smooth picture but also know they are running. There is also a focus pull when Ibrahim is caught this is used to show his sudden feeling of danger, when the antagonist just sees it as a game and that the immigrant is worthless. There is also ben who is a black gentleman that is dressed in a smarty manor not like the immigrant workers

Editing

Fast pace editing is used to create the tension when they are all running to hide from the immigration officer also it shows their facial expressions and you can see that all of them are scared and don’t want to be caught. When the nock on the door it zooms in when she opens it this builds up attention to make you want to know who is at the door. A cut is used when she jumps from being in the staff room to being in reception this builds up tension for the user and makes you realise how important the immigrants are to her as she wants them to let him go.

Sound

The backing music at the start when you see the antagonist walk in is very upbeat and makes it feel fast paced when he walks in like he needs to do it quickly so none of the illegal immigrants can escape, it also makes him come across as a lot eviller. Also when they are hiding in the staff room the background music that is on all the way through stops when they lock themselves in the staff room but when they realise one person is missing an eerie sound starts to play to add tension. Diegetic sound was used so this is when the sound has a meaning on the screen so when they were running you could hear the footsteps this shows diegetic sound. Non diegetic sound was also used when there were bits that had tension in them they used the non-diegetic sound to make them more tense. Synchronised sound is used when they are running as the sound of footsteps is expected as they are running. Also sound bridging is used as there is background music that plays all the way through the clip.

Mise-en-scence

The hotels staff that you would see for example the people behind the office where white and dressed smartly whereas the immigrants where not dressed formally and where in the background where people would not see them very often, the jobs that they had made them look like they had no other choice of what job they could have as they were not very intelligent, this was all proved wrong when the lady passed out in the staff room that they were hiding in and one of the cleaners new exactly what to do and she said “I was not always a cleaner” this shows that he was a doctor and is very intelligent so the stereotype that is given to them is incorrect as they are very can be very clever. Also at the start you see this very nice smart hotel and then they show you what is really going on in the background when the immigrants are all hiding in the staff room. Also you can see the different statuses they have when you see their uniforms for example the immigrants uniform is very basic but everyone else’s uniform is very smart.

Representation of gender in Luther

Luther on BBC shows binary opposite between male and female

Camera shots

There is an establishing shot which sets the scene and shows on where they are showing that they are on a sky scraper so this gets a good shot of where they are. And then they use a focus shot on whoever is speaking and then they bluer out the background. They also use jump shots so that they can jump from person to person, also they use a jump shot when they are on the balcony then all of a sudden they are in her flat/apartment. When they are in the apartment side shots of them when they are speaking this make the background stand out so you look at what she owns in her apartment and get a feeling for what sort of person she is.

Sound

At the start of the scene you can hear all of the traffic in the background this makes you realise that they are on a sky scraper in a busy area/city so there is a lot of traffic noise. When she shows him the picture of the black whole eerie music which adds to the weird way that she explains it, you get this thought that she is not wright in the head.

Editing

There was editing used when they jumped from outside on the balcony to inside her apartment so this will have been edited together this give the audience a feeling that something is going to happen as it speeds up what is happening so they don’t haft to watch there every mood this allows them not to get bored and stay concentrated on the program.

Mise-en-scene

There is a relationship between the actors as they all know each other. There is also a telescope on here balcony and she also has a picture of a black hole so this indicates she likes looking at the night sky. He is dressed up really smart which gets over the opinion he is a detective of some sort and is trying to solve a mystery.
