Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall


How is the band represented?
At the beginning the lead singer is the only person in the video, he is neither presented in a positive or negative way. As the video continues more of the band members become present and bright coloured paints are used, this could reflect a happy and engergetic mood. Also how the paint is splashed over the walls could resemble the chaos in their lives. The scenery then changes to a dark room with UV paint, this could reflects a night out in a club and how they still like to enjoy themselves regardless of their busy life.

How does the video relate to the lyrics?
At the beginning of the video the lyrics are 'painted' onto the wall in a stop-motion way. However as the video continues the lyrics are in no way linked to the video, this is quite unconventional as they usually have a story that is portrayed though the video.

Ideas and inspiration from the video?
I like the way advanced stop-motion is used in this video, this may be some thing I wish to consider using in my video, however it probably will not be up to this quality, but it still may be effective during the chorus for example to spell out the words in a scene.
