How do the representations

Shows his support of anti-establishment and caring for the injured and their freedom. Escaping
control.

Have stereotypes been used in a positive or negative manner (or both) how and
why? *

No, a lot of the stereotypes used in the music video have been used in a negative manner such as
suggest American suburban life is similar to what is in the music video aside from the super powers
aspect.

Do you think that the music video

offers representations that are
under or over represented in
society. Which ones? Why do you
think this? *

I feel like children are over represented in society but specifically this child is portrayed in a
unconventional manner. Classes in society with the boy living in a lower-middle class environment
and this can be used in a way to suggest the artist is more closer to the audience.

How could [different] audience/s

respond and interpret the
representations/messages and
values/ideologies that the music
videos offer the audience? *

The setting of the music video to an older audience would feel nostalgia when watching this as its
filled with intertextuality to 80s movies like E.T., Star Wars etc. And a younger generation would feel
empowered by this video though the video surrounding a kid beating the authority.

What do you think the purpose of

this music video is? *

Promote the artist, send a message, reinforced lyrics and ideology of the song, attract an new
demographic, another way the artist can express themselves and their interests.
