2. The reality in this video is presented as very provocative.All the girls are dressed in "sexy schoolgirl" outfits (dress shirt exposing midriff and cleavage and short skirts) and they all dance in a sexy fashion. There are also no authority figures except for the frumpy looking teacher at the beginning, who is only there to hold the kids hostage till the after school dance orgy. They portray reality this way so Britney Spears and her fellows can appear cool and sexy and that being a teenager is awesome and fun.
3. Some of the teen pop music stereotypes in this video are the synchronized dance scenes in odd or random places ( the hallway, the gym, outside), sexy, revealing cloths on young women and old bitter adults trying to ruin the kids fun. Another code of this genre is that the lyrics of the song are completely meaningless for example: Hit me baby one more time. It sounds like she either wants to be physically abused or that she's a crass old British women who wants someone to hit her baby one more time.
4. Some of the values portrayed in this video include: That school work isn't important (they hurl it away as soon as class is over and spend most of their time in class staring at a clock) .Another value is that being a slut is important in order popular because all the "cool girls" wear trashy outfits and dance like strippers and only they can get guys to like them.They also show that all adults are squares and their only goal is to hold us back.
5. This video would appeal to teenagers in quite a few ways. For one thing it would appeal to guys because of her outfit and the way they dance because guys will find it attractive. It will also appeal to teenagers because they will think " Hey I want to be sexy and fun like Britney" and then they might try to emulate her attitude and what not.
6. I think it is a good music video because it's pretty good at telling us what Britney is all about. Being a slut, having sex, failing school. It's also very memorable because I'm sure just about everyone could tell you about what happens in this video so it's very memorable and influential. I'm sure it influenced a lot of kids in the late 90's and early 00's to act just like their role model Britney Spears, the shining example of a person that she is.
