Camera Work:

Here at the beginning of the clip we see a EXTREME CLOSE UP of the wedding rings, so we know straight away that the programme is going to be about a wedding.

Also in the clip they use a TWO SHOT of the character Minty and his date.

An OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT also features in the clip. It shows the vicar conducting the ceremony.

This screenshot shows A CLOSE UP SHOT but it can also be classed as A POINT OF VIEW SHOT  from either Honey the bride or Billy the groom.

Here we have the REACTION SHOT of Billy reacting to Honey going into labour.

There are not any Medium Shots because it is an intimate ceremony. There are no overhead or aerial shots. There also is no establishing shot because we have already know what the scene is about due to the extreme close up of the rings.

My screenshot analysis

My screenshot is from the 'Inbetweeners' series. It is in the sub genre 'teen drama' because it is a series about teenagers, that are about 18 or 19, at college and what they get up to outside of college.
We can see that the picture is from a club scene, as we can see the bottles of alcohol in the background. Also we can tell this because of the lighting which is dark but the bar is lit up by coloured lighting. The  characters are featured in the middle of the shot this tells us that they are the main characters which the series is based around. The people in the background are not looking at the camera and are just getting on with what they are doing, this suggests that they are not important. We can tell that they are  young adults rather than teenagers because they are smartly dressed and look a bit out of place. They also do not look like stereotypical teenagers.
