Initial Reaction: My initial reaction when I first see the video is that it looks like they copied the original Kelly Clarkson, Since you've been gone music video.

Analysis and Interpretation:  I think the artists and the directer were aiming to do a funnier version of the original music video.

Consideration of Cultural Context: From watching interviews of the band, they said that they chose to cover this song as a way of showing their fans what kid of band they wanted to be. They wanted to be a pop-punk band with a heavy sound, screaming, and breakdowns.

Expression of Aesthetic Judgement: The music video looks like the band is trying to make the song more hardcore and also funny.  The visuals make me like the song more because it helps to understand where the band is coming from when they did this song.


Ongoing reflection: If i didn't watch the music video, i would think the song is serious and has a lot of meaning but if you watch the video, you can see that the band is trying to be funny.
