Lego House - Ed Sheeran (Male option)

This is another idea of a music video using a male actor. This video by Ed Sheeran has so many different angles and simple yet effective shots which adds to the genre of the video. This sort of video would be perfect to film in locations around Jersey as the scenic landscape could capture a good feeling for an Indie video like this. This video is a lot different to my other choice 'Jar of Hearts' firstly because one is female and the other is male but the genre and mood of the song is completely different. I am not yet decided on my final song as i feel that both have a lot of potential.

This shot introduces the actor who is going to feature in the music video. It's a good way to introduce your main actor as it's not a full body shot, it focus's mainly on his upper half including his face. This is a good shot as it's in a simple setting with a neutral background which makes his orange jumper stand out.

 

I like this shot as it is a very brief glimpse of his side walking. It is a short clip only lasting a few seconds however i think it good to use different angles at different distances to introduce dimension.

                                        

This shot almost sets the location, even though it isn't an obvious place it shows that he's near a tour bus representing that he's a singer or at a location where a singer may be which then relates with the rest of the music video.

 

Here is another location shot, this time showing just the location and where it's set. A slight faded effect has been added which makes the weather look darker and more dull than normal.

Here is another close up shot however this is of no significance just a colourful shot of the actor doing something.

Here is another shot in a different location featuring the actor using a prop (the guitar) as well as singing whilst the camera moves around. The contrast with the colours works really well too as there are neutral colours in the brick as well as the bright colour of his guitar and the green of his t-shirt. 

Here is a close up shot of his face which is lit up with artificial light. It focus's really well on his expression using the colour in the lights and reflection. The colours work really well in this shot.

This shot near the end of the music video shows the actor featured in the music video and the actual artist who sings the song played in the music video, this is a brief shot however anyone watching the video will know that it is featuring the music artist.
