- "Second Life." Color Analysis
"Second Life" This mv tells the story of five different occupations who want to change the status quo. But when they took off all the burdens and chose again, they found that there was still only the original life to choose from, which was sad. This mv is high-key and low-key. In the use of sound, Mayday's music matches the actor's action sound. However, what impressed me the most was the color of the film, which I will analyze from the perspective of color below.
The first appearance of this mv is the police, the fluorescent green is the color of the police, the color of the police uniform. When the police rushed to the scene of the crime, they found the doctor's white lab coat and a large red stain on his chest. When the police saw all this, their eyes were confused. It must be empty inside! When life is only repeated, is there any need to continue? The scene in the back is even more melancholy. The police wear fluorescent green clothes on duty, and the content of their work is always running and chasing. Even when it comes to eating, I can't enjoy it, I can only gobble a corn on the street, what I swallow is sadness and helplessness. In this situation, what is the job for? I wonder if the police have considered re-selecting the color that represents their life? The answer is unknown.
White is the color that belongs to doctors. At the beginning of a new day, the doctor puts on a white coat mechanically, but there is no hope of putting on a day. He put on white gloves to examine the rectum for one patient after another. When I took off my gloves to eat, I kept turning the direction with the only hamburger, and finally made up my mind to put the hamburger in my mouth. Whoever wanted to bite, the tomato juice inside splashed onto the doctor's white coat. The doctor hastily wiped, in the pale world of doctors, red is the color that appears most frequently, and its appearance does not represent happiness but sadness or misfortune, it is the color of blood, so the tomato juice splashes on the doctor's white coat , the doctor will be so nervous. In the end, the doctor roared in front of Mayday who was singing "Second Life." on the screen in a white coat dipped in tomato juice, annoyed alone! Is it true that you only deserve to have white in your life?
After the doctor came the salesman, whose colors were blue and silver, and looked like a circus clown when he put on his funny overalls. It is matched with a portable microphone commonly used by salesmen. Although hilarious, there was no trace of joy on the salesman's face. During the sales process, he demonstrated the "magic" of the mop to customers over and over again. Sadly, no matter how hard he tried, his stall was ignored. He was spinning the mop while talking about the sales. Words, eyebrows furrowed, maybe he is worrying about making a living, maybe he hates this boring job, or maybe he feels helpless with this boring life. The color of life is too monotonous, and the trajectory of life is too regular.
The driver appeared in a black suit and a white shirt. The driver's job was very simple, that is, to transport all kinds of guests to their destination. Those guests were kissing, quarreling, vomiting on the spot, and ignoring the driver. Newspapers, makeup, even a dog. The driver himself has to shave and brush his teeth in the rearview mirror before going to work. The image of the driver and the image of the passenger are like black and white, which essentially creates a strong contrast. When it was time for lunch, the driver hurriedly stuffed a box of lunch into the car, and his face was helpless.
The color of the intermediary is green. When he was about to go out to work on a motorcycle with a billboard, the motorcycle was on strike and could not be activated. Although he tried his best at work, it was not effective. What impressed me the most was that the intermediary dressed in a green suit and practiced smiling in front of the mirror. Even though she didn't want to smile, she tried her best to smile sincerely. It seems to me that I am disheartened that he has only green in his life, but what about him? Maybe there is still some hope.
When Mayday sang "Looking forward to a kind of eternity, even if you have a scar, you have to put your life on the line", all of them, people of all occupations, began to take off their uniforms, get rid of their original colors, put down all their burdens, and ran streaking by the sea, when streaking, their faces Finally showed a long-lost smile. But in the end, when faced with new choices, there are still only those five colors, which is disappointing.
To sum up, the film explores the possibility of choosing a second life through five colors and the different lives represented by these five colors. The combination of colors and creativity in this film impressed me deeply. Blue, silver, black, these five colors represent the first life, if you dare to chase, you may find that there are still only five colors to choose from, but we can look forward to it in our hearts, and one day in the future, we will meet Second life represented by yellow, red, pink, purple and gold
