Music Video Inspiration : Ed Sheeran - Photograph


Ed Sheeran has used a home footage style to create his music video. The music video is called Photograph this gives the viewer an indication of what the video is going to be about. This is a very effective style to use as this allows the artist to use their video to show their life and the style that they want to be seen in relation to. Throughout this video he has used various different home videos of himself and his family. He has mainly ordered them in chronological order this is so the viewer is able to see a sort of time line through the years of Ed Sheeran’s life. In the videos he has used they mainly consist of videos showing him playing and learning musical instruments. This is effective as it shows the audience that he has always enjoyed playing music. The video consists of videos and no footage of him or anyone singing along to the lyrics. By making the main focus of the video the Images and the video themselves as the main focus point this make it more effective to the viewer. This is a very different style compared to other music videos. This is because there are not many other artists that have created videos like this one. By creating a music video that is different and stand out from the crowd this enables Ed Sheeran to attract his fans on a much more personal basis. This is because by showing this footage to others it makes his fans feel more in touch with him. This allows the audience to feel connected with him and his music videos. At the end of the video it finishes with a video of Ed Sheeran going onto stage at a concert. It then jumps back to home video and you can hear his dad saying to him ‘are you at the top of the mountain’ this relates to the video as it shows him making to and becoming a musician like he has always wanted.
