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, [[Scrapbook Story|as though it is really happening]]; and the traditional camera variety, which alternates between webcams and more conventional TV camera styles.

▲{{examples|Examples}}
== In-Universe Camera ==
=== [[Comics]] ===
* [[Marvel Comics]] did one of these (in which a teenage girl suspected that her brother had been replaced by an alien) as a viral publicity for their [[Crisis Crossover]] ''[[Secret Invasion]]''.
 
=== [[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.
 
=== [[Web Video]] ===
* ''[[Lonelygirl 15 (Web Video)|Lonelygirl 15Lonelygirl15]]'', which popularised this style.
* ''[[Kate Modern (Web Video)|Kate Modern]]''
* ''[[LGLG15: 15the The Resistance (Web Video)|LG 15 The Resistanceresistance]]'', purportedly, although it makes frequent use of what appears to be traditional camera footage.
* ''[[The Church of Blow (Web Video)|The Church of Blow]]''.
* ''[[With the Angels (Web Video)|With the Angels]]''.
* ''[[Redearth 88 (Web Video)|Redearth 88Redearth88]]''.
* ''[[Fred (Web Video)|Fred]]''.
* ''[[Internet Killed Television (Web Video)|Internet Killed Television]]''
* Much of ''[[The Lost Experience]]'' was presented this way.
* ''[[Maddison Atkins (Web Video)|Maddison Atkins]]''
* zeFrank did [https://web.archive.org/web/20131101234215/http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/ the show] for a year, predating ''[[Lonely Girl 15Lonelygirl15]]'' by about 3 months.
* ''[[I'm a Marvel And Im ADC (Web Video)|I'm a Marvel And Im ADCDC]]'' has the sub-series "Goblin Blogging", which is presented as the Green Goblin's video blog.
* ''[[Marble Hornets (Web Video)|Marble Hornets]]'', sort of. The idea of the series is that J is uploading footage from a bunch of tapes a friend gave him before disappearing, though eventually he starts shooting his own footage. Unlike other [[Vlog Series]], he never actually talks to the camera - almost all exposition is done through white text on black background before and after the video.
** For that matter, ''[[Tribe Twelve (Web Video)|Tribe Twelve]]'' and ''[[Everyman HYBRID (Web Video)|Everyman HYBRID]]''.
* Transmissions from the [[Agamemnon Tiberius Vacuum (Web Video)|Vacuum Consortium]] (usually).
* ''[[The Lizzie Bennet Diaries]]'', a modernized ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''.
 
 
== Traditional Camera ==
=== [[Web Video]] ===
* ''[[The Asexuality Chronicles (Web Video)|The Asexuality Chronicles]]''
* ''[[Four Blokes Without Telly (Web Video)|Four Blokes Without Telly]]''
* ''[[The Guild (Web Video)|The Guild]]''
* Furry Ackermonster's Vlogs on ''[[Transylvania Television (Web Video)|Transylvania Television]]'''s website.
* ''[[DoctorDr. HorriblesHorrible's Sing Along Blog (Web Video)|Doctor Horribles Sing -Along Blog]]'', arguably.
* ''[http://www.bebo.com/sofiasdiary Sofia's Diary]''.
* ''[http://www.bebo.com/samking The Secret World of Sam King]''.
* ''[[N 1 ckola (Web Video)N1ckola|N 1 ckola]]''
* ''[[LG 15 The Last (Web Video)|LG 15LG15: The Last]]''
* ''[[Laci Green (Web Video)|Laci Green]]''
* ''[http://youtube.com/user/DownStairsGuys DownStairsGuys]'', which started out as more In-Universe, but drifted to Traditional Camera, almost to the point of seeming unrealistic in a few situations. Produced by Iron Sink Media.
* ''[http://youtube.com/user/UpStairsGirls UpStairsGirls]'' (See description for [[Down Stairs Guys]]''DownStairsGuys'').
* The [[Gay Comic Geek (Web Video)|Gay Comic Geek]]'s, alternate [[YouTube]] channel, [http://www.youtube.com/user/GayGeekyVlogs Gay Geeky Vlogs], where Paul Staffelbach answers questions from fans and discusses things unrelated to comics. The vlog series of his various Con trips are usually found here, as well.
* ''[[Tree Fog (Web Video)|Tree Fog]]''
* ''[[Demyx Time (Web Video)|Demyx Time]]''
* [[Tobuscus (Creator)|Tobuscus]]' Lazy Vlog series, which although not fictional, frequently addresses the audience as a character as well as a [[The Ghost|(presumably)]] fictitious assistant.
* ''[[The Otaku Ascended (Web Video)|The Otaku Ascended]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20120304232311/http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOtakuAscended Can be found here]. They are a pair of nerds who watch anime and [[My Little Pony]] adaptations. [[Better Than It Sounds]].
