Analysing Videos

'The A Team by Ed Sheeran'.


  • It is narrative based.
  • The meaning behind the video is about a girl addicted to coccaine. The meaning behind the lyrics are shown to be about coccaine too, so there is a link. 'She's in the class a team' this lyric shows that she is taking class a drugs (coccaine). 
  • The editing and cutting of the video is very slow, which reinforces the slow pace of the video. This could also reflect how she is feeling?
  • Each scene changes on the new beat.
  • The lyrics greatly link with the music video, as they describe the activites she is doing throughout the day. 'Go mad for a couple grams' which refers to her drug addiction of class a drugs. This lyric is backed up by the girl buying and then taking drugs. 
  • This video looks as if it has been set in a busy city of some sort. The places that are seen in the video, are every day, common places, which makes the video seem more realistic.
  • As the video is filmed in black and white, this makes it seem quite simple, only costing £20, but this could also reflect the simplicity of the characters life.
