Another star constructor I have chosen to analyse is ‘Ed Sheeran’. Ed Sheeran 
is a English singer-songwriter. His influential and inspirational music will help 
me decide what sort of genre I will be doing for my music video. The genres 
which Ed Sheeran focuses on are Pop, RnB and Acoustic. 
These images show the music videos Thinking Out Loud, One and 
Sing, all very popular songs. The genre for these particular music 
videos are Pop. Ed Sheeran is a very popular very in the music 
industry in today’s society has he is a unique character. His type of 
music is completely different from all artists as he sings and 
performs with passion and desire throughout his romantic music 
videos. Throughout the majority of Ed Sheeran’s music videos, he 
has dressed in a casual and trendy style where he can show and 
act his real self. This genre signifier shows the concept of Pop, RnB 
and especially Acoustic requires a modern casual look. Ed Sheeran 
tends to use his guitar in the majority of the music videos he 
features in. This is effective for the audience has they can get a 
good impression of this character’s persona and style. This will 
enable the audience to connect with the star constructor.
Ed Sheeran tend to get a look a-like 
in his music videos to 
question the audiences 
thoughts. This could suggest 
that his persona shows that he 
is a timid and shy character. 
Setting & Persona 
He tends to create a 
narrative throughout his 
music videos to engage the 
audience, most of his music 
videos are about love, which 
is a common convention in 
the Pop, RnB and Acoustic 
genre. 
However, he does tend to 
perform at live shows which 
shows his capability in the 
music industry. This image 
suggest that he is a natural 
performer as he performs in 
front of thousands of fans. 
He is dressed as a trendy 
character which shows that 
the image he portrays is 
simple and casual.
These images show the magazines/articles Ed Sheeran has 
appeared in. All these magazines/articles give positive 
feedback about his music and lifestyle. He tends to keep his 
private life open to the public as he has told his story of how 
he started his career and the struggle he came through. This 
open lifestyle will engage the audience the like him even 
more as they can see his persona. Ed Sheeran's story can be 
inspirational too many people, especially upcoming artists 
who are in the same position Ed Sheeran was.
Ed Sheeran has used Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to connect 
with his fans. He has interacted with his fans by posting 
photographs about his social life on Twitter and Instagram. This is 
effective as the fans can keep tabs on their artist and find out the 
latest news. He has over millions of followers on all his social 
networking sites which shows how popular and well-known he 
has. Ed Sheeran is social which tells us about his persona.
This is Ed Sheeran’s official website page. As 
soon as you enter his website, he has introduced 
his album cover which he has tried to promote to 
his fans. The website gives the audience the 
impression of his persona; simple but effective. 
He has gave his fans many options on his page, 
such as buying his new album which is really 
effective. 
These comments and views are from his latest 
music video ‘Thinking Out Loud’. Within 2 weeks, 
Ed Sheeran already has 14million+ views which 
shows how popular and broad his music is. The 
comments below are positive feedback as his 
fans have tried to support their artist. This shows 
that his fan base are supportive and positive. 
Ed Sheeran’s star construction could be influential 
to my choice of genre for my music video as he 
engages with his fans well and is very popular for 
just being himself. This is effective as it could 
signifier the Pop, RnB and acoustic genre.
