Thanks for the Memories by Fallout Boy

We did a music video on the song Thanks For The Memories by Fall Out Boy. Our visual was that a guy goes to the fortune teller and is shown what he has tried to forget, after this it shows what the fortune teller saw; a one night stand. The video is not in order of appearance but followed something a bit more backwards, because it makes it seem like they are memories that come back in a random order. In the flash backs it shows how the two meet in a hotel room, and them leaving the next morning, implying a one night stand, which is even said in some of the lyrics. it shows how he is looking forward to the future but still has another one night stand, 'Been looking forward to the future, but my eye sight is going bad.'
Our video fits the song more lyrically than musically. As a team we made the video based off of the lyrics and made it ours in the video while still keeping to the instrumental part of the song. We also added some things that you see in other popular music videos, cars and directly singing to the camera but also looking away, which is becoming popular. These techniques will help sell the song, because our video shows what the song is about, and it shows what is in more popular videos.
