We choose this song for many different reasons. We believe we can create an excellent video for it with good shots of performance and have some narrative with it. The video consists of many shots of each band member and how the crowd is reacting to the music. It is very stereotypical to the type of music and when i compare this to Alien Ant Farm we can see there are many similarities. For one reason it seems their audiences are the same, they both are older teenagers that want to rebel, be very active and cause anarchy. There are many shots from the audiences point of view of mostly the Kurt Cobain, the lead singer. This agin shows how their is connection between the band and the fans through the music. There are only a few shots of the bassist and on them includes a shot from the side of the bassist that shows Kurt and the audience. A shot that powerfully shows how the audience has a love for the band and its music.
Another similarity to Alien Ant Farm's Smooth Criminal video is that they are both all performance and there isn't any narrative to the video. However there are many intertextual references in the video. One example is that they are in a high school gym, we can see this by the way there are benches around the room and because of the basketball hoops and cheerleaders. From this we interpret that the audience is mostly older teenagers, very similiar to Alien Ant Farms audience.
