Social class:
Working class plumbers in casual clothes (jeans and overalls) and quite laid back-do their work calmly- not good understanding of hygiene - incompetent, lazy, generous as he isn't charging- social respect, "go with the flow", "free of charge", spanner and sink reinforce occupation. High angle shot shows that they are lower than the doctor
Middle class doctor is business presented in a suit, uptight and thinks he is right about everything-used to having power over other people, capable, frustrated by the working classes, from London which reinforces that he is a snob, dismissive of people, rude, disrespectful, impatient, blunt, asking plumbers about local term that he was called by the teenage girls, prescription reinforces occupation. Focus of the shot- shows his dominance, low angle shots shows importance, close ups, motivates the cut
Woman is in flows low cut clothes, makeup and flirty towards the doctor, independent because she has a car-maybe a florist due to flowers in boot of car so is maybe lower working class like the plumbers yet better presented- owns her own shop, more normal- easily relatable.
Dim lighting around the men and brighter lighting around the woman
No sound around the working class people but there is music when the doctor is by himself leading the dog to a from the police station.
Younger generation cares more about jobs and life than the older generation.
Young plumber makes references to literature which gives another side to the working class.
Close community is a stark contrast to the bustling city of London.
Motivated cut: who is the story being driven by- editing is prominent with the doctor
Prominence in narrative
Pace- quickness or slowness of shot
Regional identity:
Doctor is from London,
Plumbers originate from the close community,
Accents differentiate origination
