The music video is not done n a narrative way but it goes with

Goodwin’s analysis of what a music video should consist of. The

visuals are related to the lyrics as seen in this scene. In this scene the

lyric is “when I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a

marching band. He said son when you grow up will you be the savior of

the broken, the beaten and the damned . Will defeat them, your demons

and all the non believers the plans that they have made. Because one

day I'll leave you a phantom to lead you in the summer to join the black

parade.” this scene is related to the lyric because the man in the

hospital bed is receiving the order as the son who is remembering what

his father said to him.

This scene has the notion

of looking because the

man is looking at the

screen at Gerard Way.

“I'll leave you a phantom to lead you in the summer to join

the black parade” this scene shows that the visuals in this

music video is related to the lyric.

Like rock videos there is a performance

scene within the music video and that

is one of the conventions of a rock

music video. This shows that audience

more of the band and what the bands’

like

Also like most music video that

involves band there are close

ups of the lead singer during

the music video.

In this scene the lyric goes with the

visuals because the lyric is

“sometimes I get that feeling, she’s

watching over me” and the visual

shows through the cinematography

that the band is being watched

because the audience is put in the

position to look at the band though

an small hole.

The black parade floater is

shown and that tells the

audience what side that son

is on and what he should

join.

The scene gives the audience

a clear view of what genre of

music it is. The color worn by

the band and others in the

music video shows the

audience that it is clearly emo

rock.
