Doc Martin- Regional Identity

What the thing is and what it tells me about regional identity. 

Shots

• There is a master shot and within this shot the composition of Doc Martin and the 2 plumbers, this framing shows relative status and that Doc (who is from an urban background) is at the top of the relative status and that the plumbers are of lower relative status (whom are from a rural background). Doc is shown of higher relative status because he is standing as opposed to the 2 plumbers who are sitting down below him.
• There is a medium close up of Doc's face which shows his face and the distress which he has because of the previous problem of the sink breaking. Juxtaposing this, there is a medium shot of the other plumber on the phone, who is distracted by the phone rather than doing his job which represents him to be quite laid back, however this links into the stereotype that young people are obsessed with the phone as it is the younger plumber which I am referring to.
• There is a long shot which is tracking Doc as he walks down the street, this shot shows us that the street is small, uncrowded and the shops are only little. This opposes to the stereotypical urban environment which is busy, crowded and large department stores. 
• There is a long shot which tilts up the policeman as Doc enters the police station, this allows the audience to see that the policeman is hoovering. This then connotes to the idea that within the area there isn't a lot of crime and therefore the police force is not needed. This lets the audience know that the rural environment is quiet and perhaps more safe that an urban environment. 
• There is a medium close up tracking shot of Doc and the lady on the street, this allows the audience to also be aware of what is around them as it follows them as they continue to walk. This shot shows the hills in the background and the people behind them just stopping to admire the view, this connotes to be quite a slow paced, chilled environment. This contrasts against the stereotypes of urban environments where everybody is stereotyped to be fast paced and busy, and don't have the time to stop and enjoy everything they see. The fact that Doc is walking whilst the woman is trying to talk to him casts him as an outcast compared to everyone else as he is still rushing in a place which is lived leisurely.
