During our research and planning of filming "Faded 2.0" we came across something which made a lot of sense towards why we chose to have a colourful group of dancers that are dancing in the mind of the protagonist. The reason was because each dancers act as a conscience that are conflicting and rumbling with the rhythm of the base to show a conflict and battle of emotions in the protagonist's head.
After watching this video, we chose out three different colors that represent the current mind state of the protagonist as he is being drunk and "faded":
BLUE: Is the colour that represents "remoteness". The trigger colour, the main colour in the palette of his mind at the current time. Remoteness not only shows his mental state, but it also represents his physical state at the current moment in the music video. While the protagonist is going to be shot alone in the darkness, but also in his mind, the main emotion is that he is lonely, weak and without a relationship. This is why his remoteness led to him being drunk.
Yellow: The next colour on the list is Yellow which in this case, represents madness, an emotion which the audience can only see in the protagonist's mind. We used yellow to represent his madness and regret in letting the girl go, his madness in being to weak physically and mentally, not being able to hold on to the girl and letting her go. Moreover, it represents his madness and desire for a change in his lifestyle.
Bright Red: The final colour of this list is not a negative emotion, but is a positive emotion that conflicts with the negatives inside the protagonist's head.The positive motion is for Sociability. This represents the protagonist's quality of being able to socialize, but this socialisation is also wanting a change for the new culture that awaits him.
With all of these colours present in the boy's mind, we are able to understand the conflict in his head and also the conflict that visuals have with the rhythm of the music.
