Ed Sheeran-The A Team

I liked the  lyrics and meaning in this video and specifically how symbolism is added through camera angles and editing.
The choice to apply black and white filter aids in creating a more gloomy and sad atmosphere. 

In addition to this I liked how the girl never makes contact with the camera, until the very end, which gives the feeling that we as the audience are give an insight into her life as though we are watching over her.

Editing choices were significant in illustrating a bigger message as certain shots have been sped up in pace as it shows a crowd of people walking past her ignoring her completely. but she remains stationary in that position as it illustrates how her situation is a constant and a sense of entrapment. This in turn evokes a sense of sympathy and pity from the audience.

Likewise camera angles are important as the high angle when she looks at herself in the mirror place the audience over her giving them a dominance in terms of status and representing the girl as weak.

Something that I particularly liked about this narrative music video was the fact that the visuals illustrate the lyrics, as in my opinion it aids in easily remembering the video.
