We have looked at Ed Sheeran's You Need Me But I Don't Need You music video and we then annotated his lyrics. We did this to look at the meaning of his lyrics in depth as well as linking the content of his video. As we annotated the lyrics we looked at how he made a point of not being a manufactured artist as he writes and performs his own songs. He also links a lot of current social and cultural topics like going to the well known performing arts Brit School and the message is that he is where he is through pure talent. Lyrics:
The
introduction of the video starts with Ed playing the guitar to show
performance, it’s in black and white which links to the lyrics about being
simple and not complicated. He also features throughout the video through quick
cutaway shots playing his guitar and this would relate to the lyrics later on
when he states he writes his own music.
Thank you for posting the work we did in class on time.
You need to screen shot certain points in the video that relate or ignore the lyrics. Try to discuss why you think the director has made these choices. Are there any techniques that you think you'd like to adapt for your own production.
