MY SONGS KNOW WHAT YOU DID IN THE DARK | FALL OUT BOY (video analysis)



As this is a fast paced song, through out the video it uses a continuos amount of abstract shots to fit with the beat. Within this genre of music, being indie rock the video doesn't really follow a story line and doesn't typically have to follow any codes of conventions. The input of mist creates the idea that a teenager doesn't have to make sense. Switching from lots of different shots it distracts the editing and is confusing with the misty effects. 

This can suggest that there is an influence of both drugs and alcohol as if they're dipping in and out of reality.

Although this video is performance driven, this is what makes it different and more visually appealing to watch. By doing so this makes Fall Out Boy more relatable to their audience by showing all sides.

By including different and unusual shots it gives the audience/ viewer lots more to look at and can see it as a journey. Frequently within this genre of music they include many abstract shots to keep with the fast pace of music. Throughout this video it uses the mist effect and lots of equipment, lighting and smoke effects. This helps to build an atmosphere to keep the video flowing with the pace and style of the music.
