As a part of my coursework I did some research on Human Behavior documentaries, specifically Andrew MacKenzie-Betty, Peter Moore and David Clews' Educating Essex Documentary

2. ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY
Educating Essex is the first series of the British documentary television program Educating produced by Twofour for Channel 4 that ran for seven
episodes from September to November 2011. It uses a fly on the wall format to show the everyday lives of the staff and pupils of Passmores Academy, a
secondary school in Harlow, Essex, interspersed with interviews of those involved and featuring narration from the director and interviewer, David Clews.
The series received mixed media coverage: it was largely praised for its insight into the lives and behavior of teenagers and the education system, but
was also criticized for its depiction of pupils and teachers using profanity, as well as bullying and teenage pregnancy. The show received numerous
awards, including director David Clews's British Academy Television Craft Award for his work on the programme in 2012; in the same year, the show was
nominated for a Grierson Award for "Best Documentary Series".
In 2013, Channel 4 and Twofour announced that the next series of the programme would be filmed in a different school, Thornhill Community Academy
in Dewsbury, and that it would accordingly be titled Educating Yorkshire. In 2015, Dean who was a pupil at Passmores was featured in the Channel 5
series Benefits Britain: Life on the Dole, as of September 2015 Dean is currently Studying Food and Beverage Service at Harlow College. As of June
2016 Dean has left Harlow College and he has left with a Level 2 First Diploma Qualification in Food and Beverage Service. Educating Essex was
commissioned by Channel 4's commissioning editor for documentaries, Mark Raphael, after the channel pledged an extra £6.7 million to documentary
programming in 2011.
It is similar to other fly-on-the-wall series broadcast by Channel 4 such as One Born Every Minute, 24 Hours in A&E, The Hotel and The Family, the last
of which both director David Clews and series producer Beejal-Maya Patel had previously worked on. The autumn period was chosen as the production
team thought it the most "normal" part of the year because the syllabus was being taught and pupils were not revising for their GCSE exams. As for
fears that the presence of cameras would impact on pupils' behaviour, Clews said that pupils "mucked about" for the first few days, but soon forgot about
the unobtrusive cameras. However, Goddard did not want to have cameras back, in case pupils began to misbehave because they were there; he said,
"There's no media interest better than one young person's education". Channel 4 sought a new school to be filmed for a second series, and chose
Thornhill Community Academy in Dewsbury to be the setting for Educating Yorkshire, to be filmed and broadcast in 2013.

3. WHAT IS A HUMAN BEHAVIOUR DOCUMENTARY
A Human Behavior documentary is when real life people are recorded and show inside of their life. Educating Essex documentary would be an example
of this because we look more closely into the lives of teenagers today and how they behave in school and how they behave towards teachers.
This documentary is and example of the observational mode as the audience have to engage with the documentary, there is a voice over but I really like
this style of documentary because, as a teenager it’s amazing to see how other teenagers act and it makes me reflect on who I am as a person.
