I chose this video from Ed Sheeran as it shows a very different side to his personality. Although a lot of his videos are performance videos hes never done one in a studio shwing how he lays down his work, this sort of builds a relationship with this artist in a different way, we now know he has fun in the studio and all his work is written down and its all his own.
Costume: They are all wearing their own casual clothing and Ed Sheeran is wearing his infamous tight necklace. They show that they are comfertable and they like to be comfertable whilst recording their music
Gesture: Although they are talking in the video we dont hear this, but through the use of smiling, laughing and pointing we can see they are having a good time, its casual and they dont always take everything serious even though they all make very contraversial and serious music. This is also another technique to show the artists human side and this is a technique that conforms to the conventions of indie/ukgrime genres. Although this is a performance video in a studio booth we see the ins and out and feel, as an audience, we are there beside them. This is soemthing that a lot of producers try and sdo at gigs and so on.

Imagery: 'You need me man i dont need you' As says this theres a different flash back shot of Ed Sheeran at a gig performing. This is why some critics can see he comes accross as arogant. Him saying 'you need me' to an audience but he doesnt need them is sort of saying he is ungrateful for all of his fans, but infact he is saying that he doesnt need all the fame he just wants to perform because he loves music, which also shows his human side.
Space from camera: There are alot of different shots, from close ups to long distant but the space of the camera is always maximised and used to its fullest. There are alot of close ups to show all the artists reading their lyrics and playing and having banter, then there are long shots of the crowd and the body language between each artists.
Voice and Tone Pitch: This is a fast paced song but all of the artists clearly know their music and keep to the pace of it well. It never gets boring as it is quite interestign to see the relationships of the artists with eachother.
Facial Expressions: As i said before all the artists are laughing and joking. Evin in some of the srious lines of this song they are laughing to show the viewers that this song isnt entirally serious.
