"I Want Candy" by Aaron Carter: Brandon's Favorite Music Video

In this video we are introduced to a handsome Aaron Carter, and his teenage crush that "sets his heart on fire" Candy. Within the video, the editing and filming styles work/employ a relaxed or nonprofessional approach in appearance. Scenes within the video are deliberately made short and choppy with a lack of any clear cut smooth transitions. In general, the angles used in the filming are abstract/tilted as if taken using a home video. This home video appearing aspect is important to the overall argument of the hybrid text. This quality helps to create and tell the story of Aaron and his teenage crush on candy through his youthful eyes. In the opening phone conversation, a pathetic appeal is created that causes Aaron to appear nervous yet excited for his date with Candy. Through this pathetic appeal and the seemingly unprofessional methods of filming, the youthfulness that characterizes Aaron and Candy's relationship, one that is present in nearly all teenage crush based relationships, is developed as we see them attempting to participate in romantic activities.
Within the video there is a recurring pattern of Aaron's friends habits of busting his and Candy's romantic moments. This may be an attempt to develop an effective ethos in Aaron's favor, by showing his ability to have friends but also his maturity level that may be slightly higher than theirs because he is on the date. Furthermore, the introduction of Aaron's friends and there frequent busting/tampering in of Aaron and Candies moments of romance my expand the argument of the youthfulness that is present in Aaron and Candies relationship. This is mainly a result of the friendships that appear to be strong between Aaron and his still youthful and immature appearing friends.
