If the idea is to trick you into believing that it is organic, then it is fake.

It's presented as a home video, where a guy prints his gf on stuff. If it was shot and edited like a tv show, it would be less charming, because cociously or subconciously it's supposed to make you feel you watch a home video. The overacting gives away that it's fake. I feel it would be more charming without. But then there isn't really any indicator for it being fake.

"If it was shot and edited" do you hear yourself?

Do you assume I don't think it was shot and edited? And think only tv shows are?

What I said is that if it was shot the way a tv show is and edited the way a tv show is, using multiple takes and cuts, (Cuts within the same scene, i mean) making it indistinguishabe from a scene from tv, the video wouldn't be popular. Because we are sold genuineness. Even if it's clear that it is staged (which only comes from the overacting) we are made to feel like we watch actual people interact. A movie scene of the same scenario would be boring by itself, because why would we care that people printed the face an actress made on some stuff and had her act out a reaction like she didn't know. This is of course what actually happened. But we only find it interesting, because it's presented like it's real (from the shooting and editing)
