Vlog Series

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

A trend in Web Original series. The series is presented as a video Blog (vlog) by a fictional character existing within the series, or as the vlogs of several characters. A subtrope of Character Blog.

The Vlog Series comes in two flavours: the more-or-less realistic variety, which is filmed using webcams and presented as entirely in-universe, as though it is really happening; and the traditional camera variety, which alternates between webcams and more conventional TV camera styles.

Examples of Vlog Series include:

In-Universe Camera

Comics

Live Action Television

  • Irish tv series Dan and Becs and its sequel series Sarah and Steve were both shot in the form of first person diaries, cutting between their different tellings of the same events. It's never quite made clear whether or not they post the diaries on-line.
