Music Video Analysis- Fall Out Boy- My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)

Fall Out Boy- Light Em Up 


Fall Out Boy is an American rock band whose music is targeted at teens from the ages of 15- 19 . The rock genre is established within the music video from the music. There is heavy instruments playing in the background and some screaming within the singing during the chorus which is widely established within the rock/ metal genre. The mis- en- scene also emphasis' the rock genre through the costume and lighting. The costume that is worn through the video is quite dark and edgy, the women are wearing revealing clothes and dark lipstick, and the lighting is quite low. The lighting gives the video a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

  1. Taslima your music video analysis identifies key iconography associated with the rock music genre. You also reference key media terminology in your analysis.

    Can you explore through the Uses and Gratifications Theory why the target audience would engage/watch/enjoy this video?
