Editing in the Doc Martin clip

At the beginning of the clip there is a close up shot which then flows into the entrance of Doc Martin. Then in the shots before the sink leaks and all the chaos happens there is a lot of eye line matches as when both the father and son plumbers are looking up to Doc martin and he is looking down this is because Doc Martin has more power and his level of standing up means the plumbers have to look up to him as they are at a lower level for both there status and height.

As the sink leaks and all the chaos begins to happen the pace becomes much quicker to add more impact to the scene. As well as the telephone coming in to allow them to do more cuts and different shots. Once the dog arrives in the house there is more eye line matches with Doc Martin as he is very stressed and is shouting at the dog while looking down on him. Then this leads to another shot of the dog this is to show that Doc Martin was shouting at the dog even though his eyes indicated that he was.

When Doc Martin is walking the dog to the police office. There is an action match as he goes to open the door and then the next shot is him coming through the door this is an action match shot as the two shots are both related to Doc Martin opening the door.

Another eye line shot is where Doc Martin is staring down at the teacher in the school and she is looking up at him. This part of the clip expresses huge intensity.
