Fat Boy Slim - Weapons of Choice.

  • 4Narrative: I think the storyline is that he is thinking about something serious and very stressed out? but in his mind he escapes himself by wandering off and dancing away..
  • Treatment (concept):its a solo dance perfomed by Christoper Walken..
    Its a bit weird just sitting here watching him break in to dancing whlist sitting there looking very tensed. Very unexpected, because you I didnt think he would be a good dancer:D

  • Connection to the song: ...
  • Mise En Scene (what the camera sees)
    • Clothes/Make up: smart formal clothes.
    • Locations: hotel lobby.. empty
    • Props: furniture in the background, also a laundry trolley and hotel stuff.
    • Lighting: not very bright, not very dark.. bit dull though.
    • Actor movements/expressions: was serious to start with when he was sitting down then starts dancing expressing his inner feelings? then at the end goes back to where he starts from.
  • Camera shots/types/movements:
    The camera closes up at times to really capture how he's feeling. When he starts dancing the camera is moving with him to capture every move.
  • Historic, Social and Cultural Context
    • Purpose of the video? ''Walk without rhythm, and it won't attract the worm
      if you walk without rhythm  you never learn ''
      This line of lyrics refers to the science fiction novel Dune. A single by Fatboy Slim from his 2000 album Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars. Its portraying a message?
