The next scene is set on the ships captains quarters/deck, the screen starts of black, and then it tilts upwards to reveal both the captain and his understudy (Russell Tovey) working on deck. It begins with a long shot of the two crew fiddling with the controls, and it then cuts to a point of view shot, showing the controls and the various different warning messages flashing up on the screen. There is then a mid shot showing the reaction of the captain and the second officer in charge trying to deal with these messages. There are also some close ups in the scene, but mostly towards the end.
The next scene is back in the restaurant and uses a variety of shots from close ups to establishing shots/extreme wide shots. Also during the dialogue between the doctor and the waitress there are a lot of over the shoulder shots been used. There is also a close up cut shot of the waitress putting the wrist strap on which is used to transport them.
After the transportation has happened you first of all see an establishing shot of an empty street at Christmas, special effects are then used to insert the characters in. There are a lot of wide shots and two shots in this scene to cover the interaction between the Doctor and the waitress, there are also a lot of close up and reaction shots as the people in the scene are meant to be shocked of their arrival and there surroundings as it is the first time they were supposedly on earth. During this scene it also cuts to a news broadcast to accurately inform the doctor about what is happening.
Also in general there are alot of special effects that make the clip, and really give the audience an idea of the goings on, e.g. the meteor shower, as seen from the boat deck. Other than the special effects the different camera shots were quite repetitive throughout this clip, however I think the effects used worked well with this genre of television drama.
