Inspiration - Ed Sheeran, The A Team

This video has inspired us a lot and has given us many of our ideas for our video. We like the black and white colours which run throughout the video and that convention is something that we are strongly thinking of taking away from this video and putting into our own.



This clip shows an idea similar to one we have. The fact that the girl is on a park bench and looks sad and lonely, links to our idea of having the male vocalist of our band sitting in the street with the same emotions. We like how everything works together on this and how little details in the mise en scene make it look authentic and believable. For example, the girl has rips in her tights and the black and white mise en scene fits with her emotions.



Another part of this video that really inspires us is the camerawork and this is shown off really well in this clip. The part where the camera is following the girls footsteps has a lot of impact as it is showing her journey of her everyday life tht she has to live. Then, the part in which the camera is below the girl emphasises how she is looking up and wanting better things in her life. We hope to take ideas from this and be as effective with our camera work so that we can help to aid the storyline and show meaning with it.



This clip of the video inspires us because of the fast paced editing which is combined with the girl seeming as though she is filmed seperately. This is really effective and shows that she feels she is different to other people and is just watching the world rush by infront of her. We are impressed by this level of editing and how it helps to tell a story and we are going to take inspiration from this when making our own video.
