Behind These Hazel Eyes, Kelly Clarkson

The narrative of this story is very strong and I think it has been portrayed successfully!
The jist of the narrative is this - I have to explain it so my brief notes on the video are made clear: There is a woman (Kelly Clarkson's character) who is set to marry a man who is having an affair with another woman.  There are uses of symbolism and visual aids of the "bride's" mind for she is presented in three various ways: one portrayal is of her as the bride as part of the narrative; the second one is her dressed in black set apart from the narrative but overlooking the situation (she presents more of a "what if" character in the mind shown in a 2-Dimensional way) and the third portrayal of is of her totally apart from the storyline of the music video, but singing the song with the band in the background.  I LOVE the way narrative of the music video has been presented, for it expresses creativity and deeper thought to the story which is what attracted me to it, and probably other viewers also.
A feature I particulary liked in this video was from 0:43 - 1:04.  This is because it has Kelly Clarkson "inspecting" the affair of her marriage but in a symbolic way; she walks down the isle dressed in black singing the track but then gets involved visually.  The uncovering of the veil uncovers the truth!
This similar tecnique is also at 1:56 - 2:26 - it has the successful "clash" of the different personas of the main character coming together and reflecting on her decision and her life.  This is a clever way to gain different perspectives on a narrative which is what I think was the idea of this music video.  Using little aspects from this video could help show our creativity and thought into our music video piece, if we added them, which could make the representing of the narrative stronger and more appealing.
