LANGUAGE IN MUSIC VIDEOS

In Wheatus' song Teenage Dirtbag the main character seems to be a typical 'uncool loser' with a crush on a girl called Noelle. His clothes are significant as they are all different to what everyone else is wearing, symbolizing that he is different. Wherever he seems to go, people make an L-shape on their hand which means they're calling him a loser, and the boyfriend of Noelle is wearing a type of clothing often associated with 'Jocks' who are generally the cool kids, showing the large contrast between the cool kids and the main character.

    Mark 1 out of 4. Fairly good so far but be specific and be more detailed..
    1. Be specific when describing his clothes and aim to contrast him with the cool guy who drives the IROC.
    2. There are many genre conventions that you could have picked here, such as, what is the function of the chorus? How do the visuals reflect the lyrics? Are the visuals cut to the beat? What is the camerawork like?
