Analysing: Outer Science



Another song in the Kagerou project series, it features the "bad" ending of the series's story and shows almost every character in the series and features a unnerving and serious fast paced song. This version of the song is sung by Jubyphonic, a singer who takes these japanese songs and translates them into english. This is one of the ways that the genre can try to reach out to a more international audience. However so far, Jubyphonic is the only singer that I have found that can translate and sing these songs on a professional level.

Outer science has a unique colour palette as it mainly focuses on the colours red, blue and mostly yellow. Yellow being the colour of fear and generally too bright and unnerving gives the music video a creepy vibe that is kept consistent and is always consistent within the viewer's mind. Red is used to break out from the bright yellow and gives the blood an extra shock factor when incorporated. Blue is unusual and is noticeable when used, it is strange and shocks the viewer.

Once again the song is edited fast and quick, there's are a variety of ways the lyrics get presented. The video also show use of different shapes other then the characters like when it introduces the "eyes" the song uses a variety of circular shapes to present them. This makes it more simpler for the animator and fills up more space in the video but still keep the consistency in design.
