Camerawork:


 
Here at the beginning of the clip we see an 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 used a TWO SHOT  of the character 'minty' and his date.

An OVER THE SHOULDER  shot was used in the clip, we can see the vicar conducting the ceremony.
This screenshot is a CLOSE UP  shot but also could be 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 aren't 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 seen is about due to the extreme close  up of the rings.
