The form of the advert is stand alone, series , realistic  and documentary.  I believe that  it is stand alone and series is because the company that made this advert is the first time they've done something like it, however considering anti-bullying adverts have a lot of them made, so that makes it a series. It is a realistic advert because this is what happens to some people in everyday life and they do experience bullying and the documentary side of it shows it to us, by exhibiting what we can do to stop it and what it feels to other people.

It is used throughout the advert whilst the advert overlapping whilst the actors speak, however due to the quite tone that it has we are able to hear the message they are trying to perceive.
