Coldplay The Scientist starts off with a close of Chris Martin lying on a mattress this could be due to the record label wanting lots of close as Andrew Goodwin said. The music video itself is a performance narrative with Chris martin singing and acting in the narrative its self.

A reason Chris might be doing it on his own could be that the other members of the band don’t like the limelight and this is shown as Chris is the only one to ever talk in interviews.
The outfit of Chris Martin during the music video is very bland with some white top and black trousers. This could be to try and show that he is just like every other human even though he is a celebrity as it
