Unit two-asignmnet number two

Lonelygirl15 Synopsis
Th Lonelygirl series is introduced with a girl named Bree, who is home schooled because she comes from a very religious family. She spends most of her time in her room with her only visitor being a friend named Daniel who she refers to as DanielBeast. As an outlet in order to pass her time she created a blog page where she talks about her life, and talks to her stuffed animal purple monkey, and does these skits "Proving Science Wrong." As the series progresses tension starts to build between Bree and Daniel. We start to see them fighting whether it be over something that Bree's father asked Daniel to do, or just some bickering. It comes out that Daniel does not completely understand Bree's religion, and this forms difficulty in their relationship. Even after their fighting DanielBeast comes through for Bree like no other friend has done for her before. Bree is asked to be in an important ceremony for her religion. She must diet and memorize a lot of information for the ceremony. At the same time she starts to want to go out with Daniel more. Against her parents wishes she sneaks out of the house in order to go to parties and hang out with Daniel's friends. She decides to do what is best for her and starts to make her own decisions for a change.
Normal videos vs. Swimming Video
In the swimming video there is the addition of music, which adds to the feeling of the video. In addition in the regular videos the camera is stationary its a one on one with Bree. Where as in the swimming video the camera followed her every action. The cinemotagraphy was much better in the swimming video.
What works about LonelyGirl15 being Web 2.0
As a result of the series being made on the internet, the writers can take feed back from the viewers. The outcome of the series is not scripted, it changes according to what the audience wants. Each video is produced in short incraments, with different possible outcomes. The show can be taken in any direction the viewers want.
