The music video for Ed Sheeran's song "The A Team" tells the circular narrative of a homeless woman named Angel who is addicted to drugs. It employs narrative techniques like a singular story strand that follows Angel's individual story. Visual elements like black and white filming and Angel being shot in the center of frames aim to depict her vulnerability and exclusion. Binary oppositions between life and death are also used to reinforce the song's themes. The low-budget, authentic production helped connect Sheeran's emerging talent to audiences through emotional storytelling.
