BLOG QUESTION: COLDPLAY MUSIC VIDEO

What is the theme of this music video? What kind of techniques are they using to convey it?

This music video is narrative, so it contains themes of love, nostalgia, and regret. To convey the themes of regret, the entire music video is played in reverse, which reveals the story behind it. By having the story be told backwards, it also matches with the lyrics of the song. Some lyrics that tie in with the narrative include "It's such a shame to tear us apart", "lets go back to the start", and "come back and haunt me". I am assuming that the song is about a breakup or losing someone, which is shown in the music video at the very end when it is revealed that the characters got into a car crash.
