fat boy slim - weapon of choice homework

The music video is about a business man in a hotel starting of too be formal and then as the song kicks in then he starts doing some moves. first his mood is formal like a normal business man would be like and then through out the music video while his dancing his facial expression stays the same which is dull this can be because a business man is formal and boring. The atmosphere around him is silent and dull also the main character is full of energy this might show that he is the only life around the area surrounding him.

mise en scene
firstly i will talk about his appearance in the video. The clothes he wear is very smart this shows that he is a important person for example a busness man. Also the props that are used in these several scenes are props thats you will find in a hotel such as the bell on the counter and the trolly. This also has further evidence that he could be a business man because they are always moving around different citys and countrys. Also he looks like a wealthy person the place he is in is looks like a  rich 5 star hotel this also has a impact of what kind of person he is.The lighting surrounding the area is dark this suggests that the protaganest is dancing while everybody is fast asleep. Also to support this is that there is no sign of any body else on the scene. The actor moves to every beat that plays and when the pace of the song picks up his body responceses faster however his facial expression stays the same which is dull.

shots
There wer quite a few shots used in this video however the main one of the main shots were full body shot this portrays the subject to show the audience that every move he does has a impact to the song. also the camera was mainly taken from the middle part of the subjects body this makes it more dramatic. Also when he is flying in the air a long shot was used and then the subject flyed close in to the camers and it turned out to be a close up shot the change there became a transition shot from changing one shot to another. also quite a few panning shots was used to show that the subject is moving. The purpose of the video is for entertainment so the audience can listen to the music and see the a boring subject that turns fun. also it shows that a business man acting like a little child this portrays that business men are not always boring
