Thinking way too much about the Lizzie Bennet Diaries

The story of media goes from print, movies, TV ,to web. The idea of the media is separated between these four media.  (Strangely, Drama and theater strangles between this, maybe radio although I would consider radio more akin to television.)  Print is all about the imagination. The feeling from text by the strange combination of text, creating a world to explore in. Movie moves on from that and leads into story. Since the most important sensory detail are displayed naturally, the people focus more on the story. Without the story, the message falls through. Any thoughts must be attached to the plot or the sub-plot. TV goes more into the imagination aspect of books, exploring, finding kooks and nannies to illustrate a world. It might almost seen as a reaction against the movies. Web gives a whole new dimension.

 Meta.

It tries to blur the line between reality and fiction, presenting the work as real and preceding to assimilate it through means of the web. The story might be quite chaotic as it bounces left and right, or it gives a conundrum.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries is great exercise in meta-narrative construct.

Not only Lizzie a fictional character played by an actor, but it's also an adaptation of a novel. The story is set and readily available on the web. And yet, she is interacting in the real world.

Lizzie is living on a double lie. not only she thinks she is real ,but when accepting the fictionality, she also realize that the future is set; she's figment of an another imagination.

There's no changing the story. You're bounded to the fate of this book... She can read the future of the book well as Bree (from lonelygirl15) can't ,since her future is still being made...

Valerie Lapomp is another great work of meta-narrative construct.

She portrayed in the between stage of a web character, well as a "TV-like" character where she can't directly interact with the viewers. But viewer can see both at the same time. Viewer can see the 'real' world of Valerie Lapomp and the 'fictional' display of her life by some other person, which is her god, really.

So concept of reality is completely destroyed. We can't suspend our disbelief because there's a 'reality' we have already experienced. There's this fiction trying to interact with us, to act real and the producer is fictionalizing it. They are fictionalizing fiction!

What the... (the brain blows up in this enigma within a paradox)

The idea is so advanced that my mind boggles at the mere skimming. Web series, without a doubt, confound us with mystery never thought by humankind. They play around with the idea of reality, making us unsettled...

But we're not unsettled by the idea of fictionalizing fiction or the double fourth wall. We just enjoy the comedy and the female-ness that make us happy and satisfied. But think of this.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries (and Valerie Lapomp) is like you have found out that someone has been you for whole life as a TV Show, for which there is a TV show adaptation played by actors, then finding out that the whole thing was just a fiction by a writer which is writing an adaption of an another book.

TOO MUCH MIND-BLOW IN THIS SENTENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
