4. Mise-en-scene Dancer:-The performance in this song is very effective as majority of the routine matches the lyrical content. When Ed Sheeran sings ‘I say the words that make you blush’ the performer stokes his hands on his cheeks. This is successful as its different from other videos.- The performer featured is not Ed Sheeran, and therefore, the performer is not mining the song. This allows the performance to stand out.- The performer is centred in the middle, this connoting he is the most important aspect of the video when he is shown. - The video is in black and white(monotone). This is effective as again it makes the performance stand out as there isn't anything else going on in the background. - During the performance: > the performer turns to the side> the lights flash>different shots are shown > a group of three dancers are shown>objects/people appear relating to the lyrics...all these things help make the video different and not repetitive as people may get bored.- The clothing worn by the perform, Ed Sheeran and the others featured in the video is very casual, as the video is in black and white, it can’t be made clear the different colours worn. However, the casual clothing suggest the target audience who are able to relate to who they see in the video. Ed Sheeran: - At first Ed is only seen strumming the guitar, at this point you can’t see his face. This helps to identify the instrument used in the song. - His guitar has a paw print on it and that's how majority of the viewers who are loyal fans are able to identify its him playing the guitar. - During the song Ed is seen in close-ups and as a silhouette again this is so viewers are able to identify him with his music and his video.
