The cinematography in this music video includes a lot of long shots so that the camera can capture all of the action within the shot from head to toe. It also includes close up, action shots of the band playing their instruments which is typical and meets the conventions of a pop punk / alternative rock music video.

There is lots of editing within the music video. The editing mostly cuts from the action within the street to Fall Out Boy playing a gig and the shots are contentiously cutting from one location to another and back again. This is what most pop punk / alternative rock music videos consists of and by doing this it fits the conventions of the pop punk, alternative rock genre.

The title of the song is "I Don't Care" and the music video relates back to this via the connotations of the video. In the video the band are out on the street and behaving in a way that is considered 'unacceptable behavior' because they don't care and don't care what people think about them which relates and matches the songs title and lyrics therefore this music videos fit perfectly well with the song and the message they are trying to convey.

At the beginning of the music video it starts off with a man from a 'rock and roll' band saying "what the hell happened to rock and roll? eyeliner, energy drinks and no guitar solos, I've taken shits with bigger rock stars than them" as rock stars are stereotyped to be 'bad' and 'cause trouble' which Fall Out Boy are opposite to despite being a 'Rock band' therefore in the music video the narrative is made and the band go out to be bad and cause trouble and to be that stereotypical rock band. This video is meant to be entertaining and humorous which most pop punk videos intend to do therefore it is fitting the conventions of a pop punk video as includes live shots of the bad playing and includes comedy in the video. At the end of the video the video surprises its audience as the band members causing 'havoc' are actually in fact 'rock' members from completely different bands this connotes that fall out boy are not that type of band to go out 'causing trouble' and being the stereotypical rock band and behaving band.
