Confusion

Understanding colour theory can help us create atmospheres with certain moods and in Faith No More's music video for the song 'Falling to Pieces', the mood is confusion and disorientation. The video flicks between shots taken in a variety of colourful spaces. The shots are for the most part very quick and choppy and the quick change in colour confuses the eye. The subject matter seems very random, disorientating the viewer further, for example a few times in the video we see bright orange giant  goldfish swimming in the foreground of a lime green shot. All the high contrast is shocking and manic, somewhat reflecting the lyrics of the song.
