• This documentary series is mainly observational mode,
as the audience are viewing the series and the events
unfold, they are not aware of the camera, and we do not
see the filmmaker.

audience on the events, this is usually used at the
beginning or the end of the episode, the filmmaker prefers
to use interviews, filmed in relevant locations such as
within the school facilities.
