There is such a big gap in viewings between these two films, even though they are both american high school documentaries. The mocumentary is trying to be non fiction by making it seem as real as possible where as the documentary is completely non fiction. Poeple are clearly more attracted to 'Drop Dead Gorgeous', this could be for many reasons but it seems like it is because 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' has stars featuring in it, such as Kirsten Dunst.

Narrative Revision

Every story has to have an equilibrium,a complication, a dis-equilibrium, a climax and then new equilibrium. They don't necessarily have to be in this order but a good plot will include each one somewhere.
Equilibrium - the introduction of the film where everything is normal.
Complication - disrupts the equilibrium, causing an unbalance.
Dis-Equilibrium - lack or loss of stability to equilibrium where the hero has to overcome obstacles.
Climax - The most intense, exciting or important point of the film. Either things will be the same as before or they will change.
New-Equilibrium - The equilibrium is balanced, but different to before. Usually better.

According to Propp, every story has to have several character types. A hero, a princess, a villain, a donor and a helper.
Hero - The hero has to overcome barriers which are presented in the dis equilibrium.
Princess - The princess is a distraction to the hero and a prize that the hero will get at the end of the story.
Villain - The villain will try and stop the hero by presenting barriers that the hero has to overcome.
Donor - The donor will help the hero by offering him or her something.
Helper - The helper is like the side kick to the Hero.
