Music Video - Lego House by Ed Sheeran & P Money

here is our final music video for 'Lego House' by Ed Sheeran & P Money

Titles development

The original title idea for 'Lego House' was to be a lego-based font style but it was to difficult to do or to read. So i went for basic photoshop fonts. The first thing i had to decide was the colour, either black or orange which goes with the Ed Sheeran theme, and if it should be in capitals or not. The titles I have gone for (the top one) is one that stands out  of the ordinary and is quite eye- appealing.

Music video effects

In our music video we used a number of effects and interesting transitions to make the music video more interesting and pleasurable to view.
We used filters at the beginning and through narrative shots to mix up the scenes and make the overall view more interesting.

The most successful effect we used was the mirror shot, where Karl (P Money) looks into the mirror. The reflection is in colour while Karl himself is in black and white. this effect was used by using the same two clips together and placing them on top of each other as a green-screen effect, and cropping it so one clip fits in the mirror, and making the main image black and white to show Karl's detachment from society and life at that time and place.

First edit

this is taken from one of our first edits, there are some aspects of the final footage used, but there are some irrelevant shots, out of place shots or poorly taken shots. there is a shot of the Ed Sheeran character who was going to originally be in it but we changed it all to what it is now.

Costume

In the music video we have two actors, Karl and Ben. Karl will be miming P Moneys rap and Ben miming Ed Sheerans chorus. Karl chose to wear dark clothes, this is a convention of the urban genre along with the hat he is wearing with the word 'Dope' on it. This is a popular word in the urban vocabulary. I think this choice of costume represents the urban genre well and it will come across in the video very well.

Ben is wearing a blue coat and blue skinny jeans along with red trainers. This is a casual look as Ed Sheeran elaborates over many genres so he does not really have a specific style so the look Ben has chosen shows this well.
