JM - Solving Problems

I am using this technical analysis in order to solve a problem that we may encounter in the shooting of our music video. In our video we plan to film a section of our video and then play it forward in order to give and effect of things flying at the lead singer.

In the music video for 'The Scientist' by Coldplay the entire narrative is shot forwards and then played backwards. This gives a similar effect to what we want to do with our music video. At one point in the video, we see a coat on the ground. then it flies into the lead singers hand and he walks away backwards. They get this effect by having the lead singer walk up to a spot, then throw his jacket to the ground. This therefore gives the show effect of the coat flying into the lead singers hand.



However for our video, we want the lead singer to be walking forward, so in order to combat this we will have the lead singer perform all the actions backward so that the sequence in fact looks forward.
