TYPICAL OF GENRE
TypicalThe video involves anger and pain
Fire is used frequently
The song is about his family friend getting hurt
Abstract imagery is used throughout
The character in the video seems to be going
more psychotic
References to the failure of god
Different
The band isn’t actually playing in it, just Lee
singing in the first half of the song
This is specifically strange in the guitar solo, as
you don’t see the guitarist at all.

WHY WOULD THIS APPEAL TO TARGET

It appeals to the audience because
everyone likes to see people attempting to
help. The walk they go on symbolizes what
they would go through for friendship.
However even then it can always be too
late
