  3. WHY - what is the purpose or the effect?
    2 - cut aways of different scenes of the activities...reason into what the show is about & what they will go through...promotes the upcoming episodes. V/O based on research - statistics, facts, etc

    1. Teenagers - expressing their feelings, engages the audience personal - VOX POPs - opinions, point of view - invites audience to make judgements, empathise, 'experience the journey'.

    3. Observational - re-enforces the authenticity of the presenter being involved and the 'actuality' (realism) of their observation as being truthful and honest
