My moodboard

The moodboard has dark images and some have an almost gothic feel. This is in reference to the darker "emo" side to Fall Out Boy, as opposed to the tounge in cheek pop punk styling. This is due to the way they dress and the way they are seen as people in the media. The reason I have used the darker images instead of the poppier style is to reference the way they will be dressed in the video. The bat-heart is a logo for both a clothing label owned by FOB bassist Pete Wentz and the record company to which FOB are signed. At the center of the moodboard I put an image of Michael Jackson's trademark glove, as our video will also reference Michael Jackson. I included images from Tim Burtons 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. There are also reference to the "emo" fashion with the eyeliner, tattoos, fringes and the photos of the band, I included this as it is the sort of thing we will be wearing during the video.

The style of Michael Jackson which we use will be be created to make an obvious juxtaposition with Fall Out Boy's style, as this will add to the clash/confrontational theme of the lyrics/video as more than a clash of the artists, as it will be a clash of style and genre as well. Therefore we will dress MJ in exaggerated outfits with bright colours such as in his early 80's era, which will clash with Fall Out Boy's emo image. The video will create a bigger clash in terms of rock and pop, as both the style of each genre and the video conventions of the genres will clash, as the band are interrupted from their live performance (typical of a rock video) and the video will then become more narrative based (like in a pop video).
