My Favourite Music Video

My favourite music video is The Scientist by Coldplay. I like this video because it portrays a car accident but it is actually being shot backwards. So we see the journey of Chris after he is involved in the car accident and then it takes us back to the car accident. During the song he often makes the reference of "going back to the start" which in my opinion is extremely clever as it links in with the video very well. Another reason why this is my favourite music video is because Chris is actually lip synching backwards because the video is going backwards, so that is very impressive to me as he had to learn the song backwards in order for it to look effective. By the video being so good, it adds value to the song. I remember when I first listened to the song, I liked it but not as much as I like it today due to the value that the video gives it.
