I really like the way Drake made this video, as it is a common storyline but in a really interesting, creative way. There is also intertextual references here to do with ‘Batman’ as the actors make-up Is like the joker’s.
The visuals show a wedding, where the bride runs away, and decides to be with someone else, and the lyrics are so there is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals.
There are lots of close-ups of Brendon Urie, lead vocals.
I love the way, the band and actors make-up, hair and costumes are done. The theme is circus like, which makes the video stand out, and more enjoyable to
watch. And again here are the intertextual references.
Inspired Ideas…
• I love in this video how the setting reflects the lyrics of the song, and there are also intertextual references here of the film twilight, in Paramore’s video, ‘Decode’. This is something I would think about doing in my video relating to the lyrics to the visuals, and finding the appropriate settings etc to enable me to do this.
