Director study- Mat Whitecross

Director study:
Mat Whitecross- Coldplay Music video director.

A short bio:
  • Mat Whitecross’s first feature film The Road to Guantanamo, which he co-directed with Michael Winterbottom, won them Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival in 2006.
  • He then went on to make music videos for various artists, including Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, Take That and Jay-Z.

My inspiration:

  • Mat is known for making many of Coldplay's music videos.
  • His videos:
  • Paradise, Every tear drop is a waterfall, Violet Hill, Charlie brown, Christmas Lights.
Why him?
  • I have chosen to look into Mat as he is a rather famous and critically acclaimed music video director.
  • He has done quite a few Coldplay music videos, and with them being my favourite band I have watched and study much of his work.
  • He has won many awards, despite the fact that he hadn't planned on directing music videos.
