Swimming!
So they could something like this. This is the first outside vlog. This also a vlog that doesn't shy away from the professional looking video quality. It's surprisingly crisp for a video ten years ago. This video also sets up the plot with the mention of Cassie and a commissioned music, basically?
Bree The Cookie Monster
This is where interaction really begins, with a cookie contest! And also obviously this video was filmed in advance... you know because it's submitted contest from a few days ago.
A Change In My Life
Now the ball get rolling! Ceremony, huh! Now this is gonna is fun!
Poor Pluto
As mentioned in my ZeFrank run, Pluto was demoted around this time. I remember the time, I was in school and this was a big news there. Anyway, more references and more allusions.
I Want to Take Bree to a Party!
Daniel is a good counterpart to Bree... for a story perspective. He provides for a foil that creates a nice back and forth that lets the creator adjust the story as it unfolds.
Should I Or Shouldn't I?
This is actually a pretty smart way to present conflict but get over the fact that people don't like to film conflicts. That cut was significant and well-used. A simple reversal but semi-effective.
I'm Going to the Party!
Little bit of rebellion and a little bit of growth. Also, these thing can only be possible after the reveal.
House Arrest
Well, it went as fine as it could have been. At time moment a nice contrast of settling and rising. There's the settling of the relationship between Bree and Daniel and the rising of The Ceremony.
In The Park
Paul and Andrea is mentioned here, kind of freedom as we establish the identity of the actors, meaning people can actually apply to the actual show, rather than being spooked.
What's A Date?
This only video communication thing must inspired some brothers... (wink) Also I'm bored.
My First Kiss
This... make sense why this was considered as the video for the series. It's a genuine vlog, and Bree is innocent but still has this wisecrack about her that makes her unique. It really makes sense this was written by bunch of 30-year-olds using a 16 year old character to make point and get laughs.
Learning To Drive
This is a really nice video, then turning into major plot momentum with the mention of The Order of
The Equinox
This is fun sleuthing... Those letters are Enochian letters, which related to Aleister Crowley and other occult people, and you know they like to celebrate Equinoxes and Solstices... yeah... whatever.
How Could You?
Very short video, clear to the point. Daniel is little less understanding, methinks. Or is there more?
My Difficult Decision
This is a major turning point. This is pretty awkward. I guess the kettle was boiling for a while... and this seems to be the conclusion, but I guess in my pretty placid experience, it feels empty?
You Made the Right Choice, Bree!
an update of sorts
This is two more videos for the OpAphid series, they are not important.
