Analysing a music video

Music video

Ed Sheeran - Give me love.






Location: A old ware house, with a bed on the floor. This signifies that this may not have as much money or privileges e.g. bed frame. Where this lady lives has got minimal furniture.

Blonde girl with wings is then being a will alone this connotes she is lonely. She is also looking over at another couple which she might aspire to be in. This fits in with the maslows hiarchy with the sense of belonging and feeling loved. This lighting in this part of the music video is also very dark this could represent her loneliness and that she is upset.


This photo represents she is isolated and alone. By having the ambient lighting from the lamp gives me the impression she feels that there could be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Props then used: weapons, chisels this could connote she is going to build something or harm herself.
"i just want to hold you" when this line is sung a marionnettes are representing holding each other.

There is along shot used to signify that the music video is entering the night with the use of a time lapse. This is very effective when trying to connote that time is going quickly and being waisted. By doing a time lapse over night as well also makes this music video have an gloomy affect.  

An effect is used 1.35 into the music video to make the blonde girl blurred out in the camera this could connote that the actress her self can not see clearly and is very confused as to what might be happening to her and around her.

Even though people are falling in love around her the blonde girl still remains on her own. This complements the title to the song "give me love". The message being represented in the song is that she might enjoy helping people fall in love to love her self and being happy from other peoples happiness.

Ed Sheeran is only spotted once throughout the whole music video this makes the audience wonder and also add a mysterious affect to the music video.

Strobe lighting is used 3.41 into the music video this creates a chaotic feel to the music video and could be used to signify the ups and downs in love.
