Talaash - A Music Video For Yaara Ve
Talaash - A Music Video For Yaara Ve
Where does the search for oneself begin? Within or Without? Where am I looking for existential answers? Where am I seeking the truth? When does my true journey of awakening begin? This film is a symbolic representation of the same using the device of a middle-aged man roaming through a crowded bazaar with his own picture, asking people if they have seen it somewhere.

If you listen to Yaara Ve, you will realise that it's a very abstract song, with a sad and longing melody. It is a very tormenting song.

Something clicked when we listened to this song!
This song feels like a search. Search for something. Something deeper, something that is abstract… But what exactly?

We only storyboarded one slide was because we decided the first sequence and went to shoot it. On the shoot we had impromptu ideas. So the entire shoot was run and gun style.

The choice of cinematography is hard, broody, harsh lighting, which was a choice made to complement the theme of the music. Shots have sway, using a high focal length to emphasize the emotion of the person.

The shots have been color graded to make the scene more broody. Inspired by the dark and broody colors of Joker, to show strain and overwhelming stimulation in all the visuals. Giving it a really serious feel.
