P!ATD Analysis - I Write Sins Not Tragedies


The first screenshot is of a member of the cast using speaking over the song being played. However this sound isn’t played on the version, which plays on the radio. This is because this version was edited to fit in with the video. This action is conventional because it means that the artist can put their own tint on the video and their own song and then it will make the video that much ‘cooler’.


The next screen shot is of what type of video it is. The video is mainly a story line with characters but in the background the other band members are in the background. This may be so the audience knows that a band, not a single artist, performs the song.


The next screenshot is of females wearing little clothes. This will attract a male audience to the video. Most females are attracted to the video if they find the band attractive (which a lot of females do). But instead of aiming the video at one sex, they’re aiming it at both by having girls in the video. 

This video is very stereotypical for a pop rock emo band like P!ATD. They incorporate performance and a story line, which is linked to the lyrics. This makes the video more entertaining. As the band are males, they use females to attract a male audience, as females will watch the video purely for the band.
