The Guild

This is an serial youtube show that chronicles the lives of a local area guild who play World of Warcraft. This is a scripted show with each episode lasting between 2 and 8 minutes.

The video switches from high quality video and audio to a webcam vlog style of video and audio. This is done for aesthetic reasons because the show cuts from Codex' video diary to the events she is talking about. Kind of like a memory being shown to the audience. This style is fairly consistent and persists throughout the series.

The guild is shown during a television program so that explains the style of the show. It is very similar to television because of its serial nature but the content of the show is fairly adult and includes obscene language which due to FCC regulations is not available on television. I think this aspect of the show makes it seem more plausible. Bleeping and cutting of language breaks from the reality of the media when it is done in television and movies. This medium allows you to become fully absorbed.
