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.
