outing benefited from the publicity surge and pushed a few of Lonelygirl15's clips close to the million-viewer mark.

- I guess any publicity can be good publicity.

Emails flooded in – Amanda now responds to roughly 500 a day. The show has a reliable viewership of 300,000 per video, and the team posts two, sometimes more, each week.

- It didn't seem to matter whether she was real or not in the end. People wrote to her and contacted her regardless, and now she i watched more than ever. People become angered at being tricked, but fascinated all at once.

- The concept that this is a whole new form of entertainment seems totally spot on. People treat YouTube differently than they do television. It kind of seems like an evolved reality show phenomenon.

It's enough to keep the operation afloat until they can find a way to take serialized online entertainment to the next level.

- So, Internet as a writing space remediates early TV as a writing space, which was at the time remediating radio as a writing space. Only later did innovations for each particular space come to exist.

Beckett tried to explain to the executive that the central theme of online
entertainment was interactivity, as opposed to the passivity of television.
posted by maureen on 02-14-2008
- To me, this is an example of the cultural lag most of us are experiencing. Executives, typical of the white male dominating elites, are not ready to embrace this new video storytelling technology. Blurring the lines between reality and fiction is groundbreaking storytelling. We participate in interactive video games via our computers, why not interactive storytelling. Again, this whole concept to me is absolutely brillant!

posted by butler09 on 04-16-2008
- There's a big difference here before the standard of television and today's internet. Interativity is a lot more involving, and a person can grow more emotionally attached as opposed to the "passivity of television." Emotional attachment equals addicted viewership, which equals popularity and success of the show. It's really an ingenious new medium for the entertainment industry to consider.
  posted by butler09 on 03-13-2008
- I do not thing it's a good idea to blur reality and fiction. As we saw in "A Rape in Cyberspace," problems arise when you mix VR and RL.
  posted by Jessica Bloom on 04-16-2008
He wanted to create shows in which the line between reality and fiction is
blurred, where viewers can correspond with the characters and actually become
involved in the story by posting their own videos.
posted by dracmere on 02-13-2008
- This is an interesting idea that I think internet users will love. Being able to finally interact with what you are watching instead of shouting at the TV with no results is something everybody can enjoy.
  posted by dracmere on 02-13-2008
The exec responded by walking them through his fall lineup and pointing out that
the network's Web site had great supplemental video material for the season's
upcoming shows.
posted by mccrar25 on 04-13-2008
- I think that Beckett is on to something, but the TV world just isn't ready for it yet. I think that we may see shows similar to "Lonelygirl" soon, because people want to be involved and participate in what they watch. Why do you think that shows such as Dancing with the Stars and American Idol are so popular? It's because everyone gets to be their own judge in a way. Also, they develop "relationships" with the contestants. They want their favorite singer to win or their least favorite to get booted off. Successful shows such as these are highly interactive.

"It's a new medium. It requires new storytelling techniques.
posted by sunflower123 on 04-13-2008
- The more I kept reading this article the more I undertand, from the beginning I was just kind of freaked out that people could make this huge reality show on the web and it could be fake.
  posted by sunflower123 on 02-13-2008
- this is true....i mostly watch tv shows online now b/c i miss them on their regular air times. people are so involved in the net now that they would probably embrace a web-based show.
  posted by vanamb16 on 03-13-2008
- This is a really important point to realize. In this course, we continually talked about how writing technologies are constantly changing. The storytelling mediums are going to continue to change. For example, this is why so many people watch TV shows online. It'll be interesting to see how mainstream this idea becomes in the near future.
  posted by haines64 on 04-13-2008
The way the networks look at the Internet now is like the early days of TV, when
announcers would just read radio scripts on camera.

supplemental material is boring.
posted by Jaclyn Foody on 04-17-2008
- I don't think it has to be boring. If you are really creative you can make it interesting.
  posted by Jaclyn Foody on 04-17-2008
You make movies for the big screen, sitcoms for TV, and something else entirely
for the Internet.
posted by dracmere on 02-13-2008
- He makes a good point. You have to make something to fit the media medium you are making it for. In terms of writing you wouldn't write a poem for a whole book, unless it was a really long poem.

This Web series not only looks different, it's made differently than other filmed entertainment.
posted by butler09 on 03-13-2008
What's needed, he says, is content that's built specifically for the Web. It
doesn't need to be lit like a film – that would make it feel less real.
posted by daydreamr97 on 03-13-2008
- Oddly enough, this idea contradicts the remediation theory. Instead of saying, "it's like film, only [insert difference here]," they're saying it's unike film.

Unlike television, where writers sit in a room and come up with a single script,
the Lonelygirl15 team comes up with a general plotline and then sends its
writer-directors out to produce independent but interconnected videos. All the
characters, in essence, have their own show.
posted by maureen on 02-14-2008
- Collaborative video storytelling.....who would have thought!

posted by butler09 on 03-13-2008
- That's an interesting concept to consider when you think about it. By having separate vlogs, you're able to give separate points on view on different "issues" going on in the characters lives, and it makes the audience feel like they can relate even better. Some movies give you the first-person-point of view, so you know exactly what one person is thinking (like Bree), but you don't know the mind of the other characters (like Daniel). By giving them their own "spotlight," the viewers can form a greater attachment and interest in the stories presented.

each portal wanted the series to stream on its site only.

Flinders can't write and film them all, so new writer-directors have been hired
and paired with actors playing the new characters.
posted by daydreamr97 on 03-13-2008
- Interestingly enough, while this separate collaboration doesn't happen in TV or film, it does happen with longer book series. For example, Star Wars books are authorized by George Lucas but written by multiple people. Sometimes single series within that larger group are written by different authors.

If it couldn't be shared – if hard borders were put around it – how different
was it from TV?
posted by mccrar25 on 03-13-2008
- I think that this feature is what made so many people interested in it before, and led them to be currently interested. There were no boundaries with this show. It's creators were free to do whatever they wanted with the show. This is part of what made it different from an ordinary television show.

They don't have a big TV deal, or even a big Internet deal, but they're convinced that what they're doing is important anyway.

And they're still here, in Flinders' bedroom. Rose leaps onto the bed and
jumps up and down.
posted by butler09 on 03-13-2008
- Even after people realized that the story was fictional, they still retained their viewership, and that really testifies to the success they had. But even then, Beckett and Flinders didn't choose to "sell out" on the idea; they've kept it as they intended it, and I think that's a pretty important thing to observe. They didn't try to modify it to fit onto the big screen so that they could earn even more money from it.

If this was going to be the first successful Internet TV
show, they felt it needed to embrace the medium
posted by daydreamr97 on 03-13-2008
- It must have been a tough choice for the creators to trade a deal for the freedom to screen their shows wherever they want, but it only makes sense. The designed the series for a writing space that was based on sharing, so signing exclusively with a website would defeat the point.
