Coldplay Music Videos

The videos for 'Yellow' and 'The Scientist' are both very interesting and unique. Both videos were filmed with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin singing altered versions of the song. 

The video for 'Yellow' is also interesting as it is just a one shot video. The song appears to be slow motion, although the song is played at full speed. Chris Martin had to learn and sing the song at double speed to create this slow motion effect. This effect works amazingly well for this video as the song suits the slow motion style. 







'The Scientist' video was filmed in a normal fashion, then flipped back to front. This is to emphasise the lyrics 'back to the start'. For Chris Martin to seem to be singing he had to learn and sing the song backwards. 


These ideas and adaptions from the way in which the artist sings are fairly simplistic to create a suitable affect to match the song. Similar ideas would be difficult, but not impossible to replicate.
