Comparing 2 music videos Smiths v Sheeran

TBC

Its tempting to suggest viewing the EdS example with the audio off, but sadly you couldn't analyse the editing properly then...

There are many ways to approach analysing one, or comparing two, music videos. The key for you is to ensure that you give SOME consideration to ALL 4 Key Concepts: Media language, Audience, Representations, Industry ['Institutions'] - MARI Christmas!

Lets start with the one that may seem least obvious, INDUSTRY.

THE TWO VIDEOS
THE SMITHS: "This Charming Man"


ED SHEERAN: "Bibia B Ye Ye"


APPLYING KEY CONCEPT INDUSTRY
Your 1st question is: major label or Indie?
However, you can also look at the distribution of the video itself; its number of views; and the same for the track on the likes of Spotify.
