Doc Martin

Editing
The editing speeds up a bit when the leak happens to build up a bit of tension for the viewer. The camera shots stay on the screen for a longer amount of time when Martin and Brading are talking which shows that there is not much tension in this scene, this can signify that they are comfortable with each other.
Sound
There is diegetic sound of seagulls which shows that they're by the sea, this is a good and subtle way to show where Doc Martin is filmed. Soundtrack plays strings when Martin sees the teacher in the school which builds up tension and makes the viewer inquisitive as to why this happens, drawing attention to the TV programme. There is no soundtrack when Martin and Brading talk which shows there is no tension and also shows that they may be comfortable with each other, drawing attention to their relationship. When Martin takes the dog to the police station and leaves the plumbers, the soundtrack is played and it's cheerful; this is humorous towards the Doctor because Martin is stressed out and everyone is always calm.
Camerawork
There is an establishing shot for the school just before Martin looks at the teacher, this is the only establishing shot in the extract which may signify that the school is the only new location and the viewers know the other locations so there is no need for establishing shots for anywhere else. When Martin first has an encounter with the police officer, the camera pans up the police officer to show what he's doing; this is a good technique to use because the camera shot stays a medium shot but it also shows his full body. The camera pans towards the dog which tells the viewer that the next bit of the sequence will be focused on the dog; when the camera pans towards the dog, it gets the viewer to question what is going to happen next. 
Mise en scene
Martin uses a jumper for a dog leash and he fixes a leak the the plumbers could not fix, these actions show that Martin is a handy man and he can make good out of any situation. One of the plumber is fat and is eating which signifies that he is useless and shows gluttony. the room is full of boxes and it's lit by dull natural lighting; because of this, it shows that the plumbers aren't professional and that Martin is more in control than them. 

Hotel Babylon
In this essay, i will be writing about the extract and what happens in it. I will be writing about the ethnicity of the characters, the camerawork. The sound, the mise en scene and the editing.

In Hotel Babylon, the migrants that hide all have working class jobs which may be stereotypical because people like cleaners or just small-time jobs are stereotypically foreign. this is represented in hotel Babylon because the people who hide all have small-time jobs. A young white woman is the receptionist in this TV programme which is very stereotypical because receptionists need to be presentable. None of the people wearing the suits are of any Mexican ethnicity which is expected as you wouldn't see a Mexican in suit. The viewer wouldn’t expect the person who helps the woman having a diabetic attack to be a doctor. The director may have done this so that the viewer is surprise/shocked an therefore is more interested in what happens so they pay attention to the TV programme.

The camerawork is very tense when they are hiding from the authorities, this is to create tension for the viewer and to keep them on the edge. There are no establishing shots in this extract, most probably because the viewer would watch the TV show regularly and see many establishing shots of the building. Most of the camerawork done is hand held camera. Hand held camera is a bit shaky and it makes the viewer feel like they’re in the action. It builds up tension. For instance when the inspector first comes into the hotel, the camera is hand held so it's shaky; the director may have one this so the viewer feels like the inspector creates tension and therefore it creates an impression on the character before he's even spoke. Most of the camera shots are close up to the action an are shaky so that the viewer can't clearly see what's happening in the action. The director may have wanted this so that the viewer is constantly interested in what's happening. There is a shot where the camera looks through a gate and you cant clearly see the hallway

The soundtrack in this extract is constant and it is a tense soundtrack. This is done so we pay attention to what is happening because it keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat. The soundtrack could suggest that there is a build-up in action so this may signify that something bad may happen which, in turn, builds up tension. 

The mise on scene makes the hotel feel like a posh place as there are people in suits and décor is mostly middle or upper class. This makes the fact that inspectors are coming in, even more worrying for the viewer because they would not want a posh hotel to go out of business. The people hiding in the closet all have clothes that show they have jobs as janitors, cleaners or plumbers. As these are working class jobs, you can tell that the migrants choose the working class jobs to show how they need the most minimalistic job to get by in life. This may make the viewer sympathise with them more and therefore wanting the inspectors not to catch them. This would create tension as the viewer wouldn’t want the inspectors to be looking for them.

The editing starts off slow paced and builds up to fast paced to build up tension. When it gets to the scene where they are hiding in the cupboard, the editing goes very slow which could signify that the action is over but it quickly cuts to fast paced editing of the inspectors which brings the viewers’ attention back to the action.
