Amy Grace HewittAvril Lavigne - GirlfriendVideo Analysis

From watching the start of the music video you can see that a couple (guys dressed slightly punky and a girl who is dressed as a geek) who seem pretty happy in each other’s company who then run into a girl who is dressed in all black (who you immediately know is the same person who is playing the other girl in the video) who comes across as nasty and selfish, Who is aiming to ruin the relationship. She goes out of her way in many different circumstances to get between the boy and the girl ranging from a photo booth to a game of crazy golf. The girl dressed all in black comes across as flirtatious and very confident with the way she looks and dresses. The girl in the black tries her hardest to get the guy. In the end the girl gets the guy and the geeky girl is left on her own.

Just from watching the music video you get the idea of the girl who is dressed in black could possibly be the girl’s alter ego. At the end of the music video you see the geeky girl left on her own upset. This could represent the end of her alter ego and that she has left the past behind her and stuck to the one person and that is the person she feels comfortable with.
