Lonelygirl15

Lonelygirl15 created a mystery for the audience to solve and this also kept the audience interested. The clips are mysterious from the very beginning. You never see whats outside of the door to Bree's room or where her supposed window really is. Also, there are weird objects in the background that look out of place in a teenagers room. Mainly the candle holder, the picture beside it, and the picture on the wall. The camera is never close enough to get a clear picture of the images in the picture frame on the bookshelf or the picture on the wall, so the audience begins to wonder what they could be. The mystery evolves with the mentioning of her religion, which is never really clarified what it is and what it entails. Bree also seems to have more scientific knowledge about obscure topics then a normal teenager would. At that point, it makes the audience wonder where she is getting this information from. Lonleygirl15 used clips from different characters that just randomly appear through the first season. Opaphid's videos seem random, but they connect back to Bree's video by using clips of her voice. These videos provide further mystery into Bree's life. Lonelygirl15 created mystery by leaving pieces of information out, like where Bree lives, what her religion really is, what do her parents look like, who is Cassie, along with several other facts. Then, Lonelygirl15 provides pieces of information that make no sense, therefore causing more mystery, such as with the pictures in Bree's room, Bree's scientific knowledge, the information about the temple in Egypt, and other info that provides further mystery. The way the videos are shot at some points makes them seem too professional, while at other points they look choppy. The lack of consistancy between the videos makes them mysterious.
