Of course the edit looks stunning but I personally love the daylight-horror-set-in-a-random-suburb-with-walls-closing-in as a concept Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here?

DISZKO 640 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 1 hour ago, OliviaRodrigoStan said: So, when we got the first visual teasers for the song, we were presented with these SAW-looking images of an old TV, with saturated greens, and a very stylized approach: However, when the first clips of the video were posted, and I took a peek at Tanu Muiño's work, it was clear to me that was not going to be the artistic direction for the video. HOWEVER, after watching the video, I couldn't help myself, and for curiosity's sake, I edited it to more closely resemble the aesthetic we were originally presented with, on the teasers: It's such an interesting contrast, because it truly is just a shift in the color palette, yet the end result brings quite a different experience. I feel like particularly the indoor scenes, benefit greatly from a colder palette, as it reinforces the claustrophobic feeling of the song. Certain scenes feel more unsettling when presented in a more distant, colder manner. It adds to the idea of the solitude present in a battle with one self. The decision of filming most of the video in broad daylight, informs the tone. And it may have diminished the impact, of the horror imagery from certain shots. Some of the makeup looks also gain depth when stylized in fantasy lighting, as it strenghtens the eerieness of the aesthetic approach. Of course, not every single shot benefits from excessive styling. There are moments from the video which work very well in natural lighting, like the car chasing scene. The seemingly normal and tranquil environment, clashes with the perceived danger of the situation, and it works. But it is impossible for me not to notice how the more horror-like elements do feel more organic, when presented in a highly stylized way. So that's literally it. I was just wondering how the video would look like, if it was edited like the teasers . The natural lighting approach works for me, on certain scenes, but for visuals like the cell battle, I would've preferred a more stylized delivery . I see what you mean with the color palette, I do like that it ended up this way tho. There is something cunty, camp and messed up about dark horror imagery in broad daylight, color and the urban setting. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitristhe 1,528 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Why I feel like we might get a second video or an another version of the video soon? Something like the Yoü & I Haus of ü series. There's so much potential. When we're not together tell me everything's gonna be alright 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTV 12,415 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I think the teaser was done in relation to Harlequin's era transition. Like after all that room shenanigans, its time to go out and see the real horror. The Lady and the Legend coming soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juanne 266 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Cool idea Scarier yes, but less intense for me, I don't know why. Could be the saturated colours giving off safe energy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ur referring to the OG concept then its gone cuz it was scrapped I think I missremembered. Because back then I do remember monsters listing the "betrayals", and among them, there were some characters from the "Yoü And I" that were supposedly missing. Maybe I remember the meltdowns when they were still missing, but forget to check when they were actually released . I think the bride was missing when people were still complaining . Yes, on her YT channel they're all there I think. HEART OF EVER-FROST 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyVersace 8,763 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I think it needs to looks "basic" in a way to represent the general public. She's on the world stage, which for a pop star includes suburbia, middle America, etc. judging her work and pitting it against itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Panda 7,564 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 2 hours ago, Mister G said: I honestly find the video in full color without any overlays, filters or tints more haunting and in line with the premise of the song's production and lyrics. That's what makes it more uncomfortable and unsettling because she's illustrating how perfection doesn't exist even in the suburban landscape. If anything it's a paradox illustrating that even in something that is supposed to be look or come off as safe and secure, there are variables that will find their way toward "running you down" or "holding you down" and that these inner demons can exist at any point in time even when we feel secure in our surroundings. Oh wow I never thought of it this way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She probably would, actually. Creative people tend to love seeing the audience engage with their work. I highly doubt she would take offence over a green filter, mimicking the aesthetic she herself used on the teasers .
