GUYS THE ALERTS WERE ABOUT NOISES (thanks to @arthurbrousard anon for pointing out the subtitles colours which helped me connect the dots)
First we had purple noise (also known as violet noise) which has a lot of power in high frequencies which is why it will be a lot more annoying to listen to it for a long time. However, the subtitles and filter in the photo look more pink and pink noise is said to sound “flat” and “even” and have a rhythm similar to heartbeat - just like the music that was playing in the club
Conversation subtitles were white and they can correspond to the grey noise which is used to test hearing. White noise on the other hand serves as a blocker for other background noises and makes our brain diminish them and is used to help people who suffer with tinnitus
Finally, when the beat dropped and something happened to Arthur’s hearing we had red subtitles. Red noise (also called Brownian noise) may be associated with a mild underwater feeling, similar to the way your blood flow sounds when you put a seashell to your ear
There’s also a blue noise which is a bit more straining to the ear because all the emphasized energy is in high frequencies - and I don’t know about you but all the flashing lights were pretty straining to my eyes and the whole clip felt pretty overwhelming
Now if we go the other way around and look chronologically at how alerts were posted and how the colours correspond with the subtitles:
the red subtitles were in the moment everything has changed and the high pitch sound was annoying and constant, just like Basile
the purple ones were indicating a steady beat, something stable, something always there, just like Yann is always there for his friend
the grey/white ones were showing a conversation and if we assume that red = annoyance and purple = constant presence, then maybe grey = acceptance and maybe Lucas will be the person Arthur tells about his hearing problems first
