The documentary educates Joey Essex about various destinations in Africa. It uses consistent title pages and voiceovers to tie the different sections together into a cohesive narrative. Brief recaps at the start of sections help viewers recall what happened previously. The presence of a well-known host, Phillip Schofield, engages the audience and provides context for Essex's on-screen experiences. Locations are clearly identified to inform viewers of destinations, and expert interviews offer additional perspectives on each place. Music and cultural footage immerse viewers in the local atmosphere.

1. Educating Joey Essex – ITV2
Everysection of the documentary is opened and closed with
the same title page and a voice over which produces a house
style for the documentary and effectively incorporates all
parts of the documentarytobecome one. This is followed by
a quick recap of what is previously happened so that the
viewer has a better memory of what is going on throughout.
The use of a well known off screen presenter, Phillip
Schofield, in educating Joey Essex captures the audience
attention and provides them with background information
behind what is happening on screen. The on screen
presenter is also used to ask questions off screen which are
thenansweredonscreensothe viewerisable to understand
whatis goingon throughoutthe documentarystyle TV series.
At each new destination the names of where the shot is taking place is shown on screen which
therefore informs there viewer of the destination of each
shot. There is also a voiceover of information for each
destinationandclipsof the local culture which again provides
some background details and information. Between each
destination a time lapse has been used to show the progress
of the journey as they are travelling I think this works well
within the documentary as it incorporates the viewer into clips as if they are also going on this
journey.
Expert interviews have also been used in this documentary which allows the viewers to receive
different view of the topic of each location and provide
additional information. Background music used within the
documentary is all relevant to the setting of the

in the documentary include a soft focus which fades in and out to draw attention to certain objects
and props and this is also portrayed through the music with a corresponding fade in and out
technique. This is used when information about different animals shown is told to the viewer.
