Here is an analysis of Coldplay - Paradise. To analyse this music video this by using Andrew Goodwin's theory which sugguests that music videos follow certain rules or codes & conventions.
There was little exposure of the band in this music video. The only exposure was when they played live and the shot of the lead singer when he took his elephant head off when riding the unicycle. The shot where he took off the head was very confusing as it ruined the feel of the music video, this is because it almost ruined the video as it left a gap in the narrative of the video, which is an elephant esacping to go back to his family/friends.
The relation between the lyrics and visual was very obvious, paradise. The lyrics mentions a girl dreaming of paradise but the visuals have made the dreaming come true and made this paradise existant, but for an elephant of course.
The genre characteristics are shown in this video when we see the band perform a live performance, this characteristic is common as rock bands often tend to play live performances.
