Ed Sheeran - The A Team


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWcs5H-qgQ


This starting shot is a close up of an emotional woman, the shot then goes onto a dead body that she is looking at.


Throughout the whole music video they use a monochrome effect which portrays emotion really well as this music video is based a lot on emotions due to one persons actions. This shot shows the location and introduces the story of the video. A homeless girl asleep on a park bench.


This is a really nice behind shot as the figure is centered making in the main focal point. the open sky is a nice contrast with the harsh black coat that she is wearing. 


This shot uses a time lapse as the busy background is moving whilst she is the main focus with the most amount of light shining on her. The busy background with lots of people walking around puts an emphasis on how lonely she is. 


This close up shot captures the emotion on her face. They also use depth of field as she is the main focus and the background is not in focus.  


This medium\long shot also used time lapse as whilst she' sitting down people are walking past very quickly to show time go by. It also shows how lonely she is. 


This is another close up shot also capturing her emotion, she is clearly upset and the camera captures this very well.


I like this shot as its a reflection of her in the mirror trying to get herself together and look better. It is later shown in the video why. 


This long shot is really interesting as the people in the middle are framed by the paneled walls and patterned ceiling. I also like the way they have used the light at the end of the corridor to focus your eyes on.


This final shot represents why she was doing her hair in the mirror and is one of the end shots in the video. I like how you can't see any faces just a figure and her hands with the main focus being on the money.
