If I were to produce a music video for this song using my colour pallet then  to start off with, the blue would be used to signify the law and for characters it could be used to signify the relation of people to the law such as a police officer who wore blue. The white would be used to signify cocaine and anything related to cocaine such as a cocaine fuiled rage at his wife. The dark brown colour would be used to signify dirt both literally and metaphorically as he see’s himself as that by the end of the song. The orange would be used to signify a section of the song saying how he was caught down near mexico, this could have the terrain and surroundings all in an orange haze as well as later in the song it could mean whisky which is also mentioned and finally black would be used to signify death and the death of the wife he killed.

If I were to create a music video for stars where I come from then I would first use the light blue to signify the sky above and what the character is flying through which leads onto the white which could both represent the clouds in the light blue sky as well as the stars in the black night sky which is what the black represents. The Green would represent the lush green grasslands below in which his lover resides which finally goes to the pink which represents generic love.


I've always hated narrative songs. I hate those songs where, basically, it's an unfolding of a story.

COLOUR THEORY: COLOUR BOARDS

This colour board is from the film up and shows a wide variety of different examples of colour theory. The beginning of the board shows several old fashioned scenes that are in black and white or achromatic, however this quickly turns to many vibrant and happy colours. In some scenes the use of colour is limited to only one pallet such as only using different shades of orange or various shades of blue to signify a sombre and lonely mood.

A good example of that is this scene where the main character reflects upon how he misses his wife and would rather reside in the shadows than the brighter moonlight.

In the incredible moodboard you can see a lot more clearly the story line of the film.  Throughout the board it uses both monochromatic colours and analogous colours.  As before in the last colour board there are scenes that convey different emotions such as near the start that shows using only a grey colour pallet however unlike the last colour board this shows that its monotonous and boring instead of nostalgic

In this section of colour board it  gives various examples of different feelings and emotions that are conveyed.  In the scene were the sunset is shown it gives the feeling of heroism and justice while the next scene shows bob talking to a small child and is a severe contrast to the last image as it shows the monotonous dullness through the use of grey and bleak colours. The final image is mainly trying to convey a sense of nostalgia with the use of browns.
