Analysing A Music Video (6)

Ed Sheeran- The A Team

Camera:
Extreme close up shot of the actor- captures her shocked facial expression
Mid shot of the actor- she looks lost and lonely- isolated
Deep focus is used-  the background is blurred and focuses on the actor shows that she is important
Hand held shot is used- the camera is very low down following her footsteps

Editing:
A tracking shot is used- shows she is important in the video
A lot of jump cuts are used- shows all the relative information in the video


Sound:
Non diegetic - The soundtrack starts after the death of the women
Not many instruments are played, we can only hear the artist playing the guitar


Mise-en-scene:
The music is shot in black and white-  this makes us feel more sorry for the protagonist, and closer to how she feels (depressed)
The lyrics has a relation to the storyline, this makes the music video more touching
The lighting is dark throughout showing she is in a dark, cold place
