The location of both music videos are vastly different, Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus is set in a wealthy town high school, this is where the majority of the music video is filmed including the performance segments, this helps the audience realise what type of characters they can expect to see in the video from the beginning and furthermore helps the audience believe it is real. The high school is filled with a saturated colour pallet and clothing choice, the impact this has on the audience is that when they find out about the protagonist being the target of the bullying it's a surprise due to how everything else in the video is vivid and colourful.
This is almost a complete juxtaposition to Sk8er Boi, the style is moody and de-saturated, the urban setting appears run down and drained. This helps to add punk-rock vibes to the video and helps to drain the estate of any character, this draws more attention to Avril Lavigne. The block of flats Avril, the bikers and skaters traverse through have no inhabitants and appear abandoned. This tells the audience that the group are punk by hanging out where they shouldn't be.
The location of the two music videos contrast one another immensely and one consists of a lived in urban high school and the other, a rundown set of flats with little to no colour.
