Looking at Camera shots



In the video Lego house by Ed Sheeran, There is a mixture of camera shots that are used within the video while the story is unfolding throughout the song. The main character in the story is linked to the lyrics by the miming and the shots him writing the lyrics onto a notepad. There are also shots where the camera tracks the characters movement from different angles such as when he is walking towards the stage. The close up shots that are used with this video, helps show the emotion that was going through the character.
After the turning point where you get to realise that the character is not Ed Sheeran but a wannabe who is in love with Ed Sheeran. After this point the lighting becomes less focused towards the character but the image of Ed Sheeran. The camera is unsteady in most of the shots throughout the music video, which adds to the effects of the unsteadiness  of the character in focus. The cuts and shots also all relate the beats and speed og the song. The transitions that are mainly used in this video is straight cuts or fade to black. This is something that I am looking to use.
