Easy A
Protagonist Olive Penderghast is using a video blog as a form of storytelling unlike my next example it is a key element to the plot as using this technique allows for a multi linear structure as she tells a linear unfolding story of the past in the present. Olive uses her video blog as a confessional whereas our character starts by using it as an "Acting exercise" but as things develop it turns into a confessional/personal understanding format.

This trailer only shows a brief insight into how a video diary is used in this film [No other more explanatory clips could be found] Through Jake Sully's video blog we can see the progression of his personal character, as he goes from being a man on a mission to a man questioning his reality and beliefs, and even though we can see this through the acting, the video diaries feel much more powerful as he shows vulnerability and compassion that he can allow no one else to see. This is something that we want to create in the piece, our character has less time for the change to take place, but we hope to show the change in character and change back in the time we have.
Video diaries are very uncomplicated as it is a single shot to make the audience relate with the storyteller. This method is bias as the audience have no one else to form the same sort of connection with, the claustrophobic sense will be useful in our piece as it mirrors that of the characters, who is almost "cooped up" within a "Frame" allowing his delusions to consume him.
