Profile on Bree

Bree is an awkward teenager, who is feeling that she isn’t belonging anywhere. We think she is raised in a strict household, and that she is missing a lot of the social skills. We think that she is making the video blog, because she misses friends, and a social life. She is a bit rebellion and impulsive, because when Daniel invites her to a party, and her parents tells her not to go, she stills leave for the party. And suddenly she is in a car with Daniel, driving around and sleeping in his car.

In the video “A Change In My Life” Bree is telling a bit about her religion, and that she has been chosen to be a part of a ceremony, where she e. g. has to learn a new language, go on a special diet, and receive injections once a week and other things. That shows that she has a hard time having a normal social life. Daniel wanted to take Bree out to a dinner, but once again Bree have to attend another ceremony for her religion, so even though Daniel is practically her only friend, they find it hard to find time to be together.

Besides that, Bree have never experienced a kiss, but she finds out that Daniel have more than friendly feelings for Bree, and that is creating some tensions between them. Especially when Daniel decides to kiss her at another party, Bree is confused about her own feelings.

The story line of the videos: in the first video, Bree is kind of shy, and holds her feelings back, because she is afraid of that the viewers would say about her, and when the videos continues, she opens up, and reveals more about herself, and her life in the religion.

In the second video, Daniel talks about his relationship to Bree, and from there they both opens up for their mutual feelings. And then the videos jumps to Bree and Daniel driving in a car, we are never told why they are driving. The last video, a guy gets stabbed in his stomach, and Daniel and some other people tries to stop the bleeding, and in the end they sees Bree laying on an operation table, and they runs for her, but the door closes.

The whole lonely15 phenomenon was an interactive web-based video series which started in 2006. All the people who were included in the videos were paid characters. The project was started because they wanted to test people to see how far they could go before people would start to question the realness of the videos. The film project was called ‘The Children of Anchor Cove,’ and Jessica Lee Rose auditioned for the role as Bree and got the part. The project became a huge phenomenon in both England and America, especially because people thought it was interesting because they thought it was real and exciting.
