2. Lonelygirl15 was an online interactive
video series following the fictional life of a
teenager named Bree.
The title of the series came from Bree's
YouTube username 'lonelygirl15'.

3. The series began in June 2006 and ran up
until August 1st 2008.
As it went on the series grew in size and
gained multiple characters, but the
fictional nature of it was not revealed until
September 2006.

4. Before this point people knew of lonelygirl15 as a
YouTube user that gained high popularity through
her Vlogs.
Despite the creation of a personal MySpace
page for Bree's character, suspicions arose about
the true nature of lonelygirl15 when some
viewers recognized the actress playing Bree.

5. The videos posted onto Bree's YouTube channel
started off being based about normal everyday
problems, especially those relating to teenage
problems.
These videos then became a lot more bizarre,
beginning to be based on topics such as her
refusal to attend a "secret ceremony prescribed
by the leaders of the family's cult" (Wikipedia),
which resulted in the disappearance of Bree's
parents.

6. To celebrate the finale of Season 1 Lonelygirl15 took
part in an event called "12 in 12" on MySpace, which
involved 12 videos being uploaded over 12 hours. These
videos followed Bree’s friends and boyfriend (Daniel) as
they tried to find her.
This event received the highest viewing numbers of the
whole series. The finale of Season 1 involved the
character of Bree being killed off. This was necessary as
the actress playing her did not wish to renew her
contract for series two.

7. To partner lonelygirl15 a spin off series
called Kate Modern was created.
The series started in July 2007 and ended
June 2008.

8. Produced by a production company
called EQAL and being in partnership with
Bebo allowed the series to gain popularity.
The popularity of the series first season
meant it was able to continue into the
creation of a second series in 2008.

9. The videos uploaded during Kate Modern
were first done so to the sites Bebo and
lg15.com.
These were then uploaded to YouTube a hour
later. This delay meant that Bebo and
lg15.com users were in the know before
everyone else.

10. Their were a number of similarities between
Kate Modern and Lonelygirl15, one of these
being the storylines. Both followed the lives of
a young girl intrigued by the idea of impure
blood.
The two series did merge for a period of two
weeks. Bother series also included
product integration, but it was more apparent
within Kate Modern.

11. Kill Cam Live is a series in which a group of students
have been asked to take part in a social
experiment, by their professor Michael Grayson.

12. The project began on Halloween (2011) and is still on-
going. A number of episodes and videos have been
uploaded, as well as live streaming and chat room
events.
Background aspects to the project can be found such
as the individual characters Facebook and Twitter
pages. There are also Facebook and Twitter pages for
the killer, where participants can physically talk to them
on a regular basis.

13. On the Kill Cam Live homepage a live
feed of the ‘Kill Room’ can be seen.
Along side this is a chat room, in which
users can talk face-to-face as well as
by simply typing. On the odd
occasion participants can talk directly
to the person being held in the ‘Kill
Room’.
The latest episode of the series can
also be found on the sites homepage.
Finally at the bottom of the page
participants can enter their email
address to receive updates and
messages from the killer.

14. A group of university students agreed to take
part in a social experiment that their lecturer
was carrying out.
The experiment involved the group going
‘offline’ for a week. This meant they weren’t
allowed to use the internet, their mobile
phones etc.

15. Amber, a young girl from the group
disobeyed the rules of the experiment.
Ultimately she was killed, through being hit in
the head multiple times with a mallet.
Another member of the group (Ralph) also
went on to cheat, and like Amber was killed.
Ralph ended up being lobotomized by the
killer.

16. The story progressed with the character of
Amber’s boyfriend Brad being brought in. It
turned out that Brad had cheated on Amber.
He was tortured and eventually killed by the
captor using acid, which was first sprayed
onto him and then poured down his throat.

17. The latest character to die is
Sam. She was stabbed to
death with a high heel to her
stomach. The storyline up until
this point hinted that Sam
could have been pregnant,
which was reinforced in the
way she was killed. Once
dead the killer carried out a
photo shoot with Sam’s body.
