Ed Sheeran-
‘Lego House’

 Music Video Analysis
Wide angle shots of
        landscapes
        and the sky




Focused on
one character-
Representation of
Ed Sheeran, the artist.
The character is lip-syncing and taking the role as the artist. The music
video creates the illusion that this character is Ed Sheeran but a story
line is created by revealing that the character is in fact obsessed with
the singer and is trying to be him, drawing the audiences in to the
narrative.
Lots of close ups of the character’s face
The shot of the mirror is a Reference to
looking- a convention of the music video
The camera is focused on the landscape, not the artist.
When the true nature of
                      the music video is revealed
                       more shots of Ed Sheeran
                        are used- Commercial
                            Exhibitionism?
