This document discusses the analysis of the music video for the song "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette according to five steps provided by Goodwin. The video conveys anger and passion through Morissette's performance. It lacks a clear narrative connection between the lyrics and visuals. Morissette is the only consistent performer, shown expressing anger about a relationship issue through her facial expressions and body language under low lighting that matches the heated mood of the song. The rapid changing of locations fits the mood and feeling of the song.
