Reverse Narrative










http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqWLpTKBFcU

The Scientist is a song created and sung by Coldplay front man Chris Martin. I like this song (even though it's of a depressing one), but I really like the video for the song.
It's quite inspiring as it's about love and apology, it is solely shot in reverse narrative. We witness him waking up and travelling backwards showing us little bits as to what's happened. The main reason of me liking the video is the story behind it, we do not fully understand what is happening or what has happened until we get to the end of the song (in the video the beginning of his day), it is a different concept as to having a video shot normal, and I think this reverse concept keeps people watching.

Another video I found that is shot in reverse narrative, is the video for 'Dead Island' the game. This video is very effective (mainly because of the music) but also the composition of reverse narrative and normal narrative mixed together working really well.
