Having changed our video idea, we now have new locations for the new video.
The walls in the hall we chose to use were GREEN presenting a number of colour connotations. I liked the natural connotations, and the connotations of harmony; as they fitted with both the song's sound and the genre well. I also thought that the natural connotations fitted with the calm and tranquility of Coldplay.
The Curtain on the stage we chose was a deep shade of RED. We also felt that the connotations of this colour fitted well. We liked the idea of strength, supporting our protagonist through his state of sadness, power, determination, passion and desire also fitted with this. It also added the idea of lust or love, suggesting that maybe there is alternative motives to his commitment and desire.
Although we liked both of these colours and their connotations, we did not want them to be linked too strongly with our characters- in order for our audience to create their own storyline. Therefore, we liked the idea of keeping these colours in our location, and the shots without being too central to the mise-en-scene.

Red
Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love.
Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a color found in many national flags.
Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions; it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites. In advertising, red is often used to evoke erotic feelings (red lips, red nails, red-light districts, 'Lady in Red', etc). Red is widely used to indicate danger (high voltage signs, traffic lights). This color is also commonly associated with energy, so you can use it when promoting energy drinks, games, cars, items related to sports and high physical activity.
Light red represents joy, sexuality, passion, sensitivity, and love.
Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness.
Dark red is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath.
Brown suggests stability and denotes masculine qualities.
Reddish-brown is associated with harvest and fall.
