Synaesthesia

Synaesthesia was first formulated by Arsitotle is all about each of our fives senses- sight, sound, hearing, taste and touch and how they can be intergrated. Syneasthesia challenges the classic view of perception. It is said that one in 2000 people have the condition in which the five senses intermingle.

The Greek meaning of 'syn'' meaning 'union' and 'aesthesis' meaning 'sensation'. The term Syneasthesia is used to describe the production from sense of impression of one kind, of an associated mental image. 

For example the sounds of a certain instrument in a song may produce a certain colours in your mind, therefore you would be expected to see these certain colours in the music video for this particular song. Music might be seen in colours or patterns or taste may be in shapes.


The Vaccines- No Hope-


When listening to this song, I thought about the different colours and images that come into my mind that would be used in the music video for this song.

-I would imagine someone in a rush because the music is very fast and upbeat.
- I imagine the setting to be outside somewhere, in a natural environment as the music is very free flowing.
-Black and White are the colours that come into my mind, purely because this is an indie band with guitars, therefore indie bands rarely use bright colours they are usually dull and simplistic.
-I imagine the band members to be wearing casual baggy clothes because the song is quite relaxed and up beat.
- I think the music video will be very simplistic, however I think something exciting will happen at the end of the video, due to the change in the music.
- I think the band members will have a scruffy relaxed look and have long sweeping hair, due to the song being the same sort of tone the whole way through and the singers voice is also relaxed and the same tone all throughout the song.

Watch the video and see what colours and images are used-


- A boy running in a rush and also cycling throughout the song
- Outside, in a free and open environment
- Black and white music video
-Casual clothing/ jeans and tshirts
- At the end the boy runs off and jumps into the sea (dramatic end)
