Yael uses the underlying premise that the writers claimed to have created the series to have a story which would have input from it's viewers. Even with the ARG example she used, she chose an example in which viewer contribution was more explicit. She outlined her paper tying in her thesis very well.

Rhetorical Process outlined by Yael
The addition of the ARG is what makes LG15 different and what draws people in. She gives an example of how the ARG works in order to give an idea of what alternate reality gaming is. In conclusion, LG15 draws people in because the fan base know that the creators want to hear from them and include their input in the series.

I believe that YouTube falls into the little film market and the little T.V market. Continuous series such as LonelyGirl15 cash in on the elements of the little T.V market producing 1-3 minute episodes. It encompasses this new idea that the viewer no longer has to watch the rigid hour or half hour installment of T.V. A series can be developed through shorter installments continuing from episode to episode. There are those self produced YouTube videos that have complete plots they carry through a complete idea as in a real film. Although they do not adhere to the strict time installment set forth by Hollywood producers.

Matt
I agree with your series being a little like T.V and a little like Cinema; but what does his have to do with the article.
Ling
Most YouTube videos are not longer that ten minutes, but it includes lots of elements considered to be a film.
Fred
Time does put it into its own category. But there are short films that are viewed at film festivals how is this different.
John
Some T.V shows are less than a twenty minute interval this is not the case for all shows.
