in my media lesson we looked at the BBC mini TV series 'overshadowed' we study how this TV series is a unique and modern way of filming, here is a the introduction to my essay on 'overshadowed'.

it impacts the life of schoolgirl Imogen. Imogen is a student who vlogs her
daily life, and viewers start to become aware of her issue with battling
anorexia. This series is a modern way of representing youth culture. This is
