I think you're right, though I'm not sure how much it is a problem with this particular adaptation and how much it is that Jane Eyre is just not very suitable for any vlog adaptation.
I rejected Jane Eyre when I (brainstormed classics that could be adapted to vlogs (http://osprey-archer.livejournal.com/286390.html), because as you say, the book is so much about secrets and repression and so the opposite of sharing all one's secrets on the internet. How will they be able to vlog that without Jane hugely invading everyone's privacy?
But I find Jane so charming that I'm going to continue watching, at least for a while. It may not ultimately be a successful adaptation, but at least for the moment it's an interesting experiment.
Anyway, an Austen vlog adaptation probably made a Bronte vlog adaptation all but inevitable. Their books seem always to be paired as the most id-tastic (in opposite ways) of nineteenth-century classics.
