For the last few seconds of the song, the camera simply cuts from different circus acts using a flash to maybe portray a sense of photography, as each flash is signifying a photo being taken. This is specifically evident when the groom turns into the ring master, so that you can see the change that has been made. As events unravel at the end of the video, the camera simply cuts to and from different people, mostly the groom and ring master, to show the emotions on each persons face with close ups. When the grooms family interrupts the wedding, the camera pans around the room showing you different members of the family and what they are doing as they are all circus performers, e.g. There are then point of view shots, first from the brides and then the grooms, as the ring master gets up close, almost to whisper in their ears. At this moment, the camera cuts between different peoples reactions using a close up on their faces. Straight after this the music picks up the beat and the ring master bursts into the church. At the word ‘whore’, the camera cuts swiftly to the ring master as he lifts his head, revealing his identity. The camera then carries on panning around the church to reveal the families still being interrupted by flashes of the ring master. The camera then zooms in first to the bride’s mouth and then the groom’s mouth to emphasise when they say ‘I love you’.
#Panic at the disco i write sins not tragedies full
The full video is based on narrative alone even though the band are seen playing instruments and singing throughout, it is all part of the story.Īt the start if the video, the camera pans from the wedding book to the vicar with the bride and groom, every so often getting interrupted by flashes of the ring master with his head down. When the groom lifts his head up he has turned into the ring master, therefore we guess that the ringmaster during the video was the groom's alter ego. The groom undoes his tie, looking shocked, and Urie and the groom bow to the camera. The ringmaster leads the groom outside, where his fiancée is kissing the guest who followed her out of the church, however the bride does not seem to be very sorry for what she is doing, therefore leading the groom to become quite angry. After an argument between the two families, most probably because the disruption that has been caused, the bride runs out and is followed by one of her guests. The ringmaster acts as narrator and disrupts the events by unravelling the affair that the bride has been having.


It then shows you their families her family dress and behave formally, whereas his family are lower-class entertainers and carnival folk, and end up interrupting the wedding. The video then cuts between two different settings the ring master, played by Brendon Urie and the bride and groom. The first clip is of a wedding book, which leads us to assume that the video is about a wedding. The video for the song takes place at a strange, circus-themed wedding played by the ‘Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque’. Panic! At the Disco – I Write Sins Not Tragedies
