The performance largely takes place at a live concert, and most of the shots are of the lead singer and the drummer, although there are some shots of the whole band.Īt the end of the song, there is a slow violin tune, which contrasts with the fast pace throughout the rest of the song. These different shots create a concept for the video, so whilst it does not have a storyline, the shots break up the performance of the song. The music video is largely performance based and does not have a narrative, although there are shots of graveyards and moving shots in various modes of transport (car, plane). Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy is another good example of someone who follows these conventions. A lot of performers wear make up and mess up their hair in order to look more aggressive, for example Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day is frequently seen wearing eyeliner and with his hair looking like it has not been styled. Performers usually dress quite smartly, they are often seen in suits. This dark tone is shown in music videos through dark or lack of lighting, and no bright colours are used. This song is from a similar genre (Pop punk) as the song we have chosen for our music video. Pop punk is seen as quite an aggressive genre, the music within this genre is usually loud and has a heavy drum beat, and often has quite a dark tone to the song, such as strong language within the lyrics, or the lyrics talk about dark topics such as death.
