Weapon Of Choice- Fatboy Slim


The meaning of the Fatboy Slim is that to him his voice is his new weapon and he’s telling people not to be afraid of what he is doing. However its doesn’t have a storyline.

The video was not a dancing video it was more type of a scene forma film it was a filmic video. It was well made and had a lot of entertainment as some parts were not real. The video is very enjoyable to watch and makes you feel like you would also get up and start jumping around it give a lot of motivation to dance. It also makes you feel very energetic. The video clip hasn’t got a lot of emotions it just makes you feel happy and the actual song think about what his choice real is and what he thinks of it.

The connection between the video and the song is not very strong because I don’t think that the video is suitable for the song when he’s talking about a weapon of his choice this video should be a with a general song. The video for this song should be located in a place weapons are used but also in a place where decisions have to be made.

There were a range of shots used in this video such as long shot, close up, pan tilt ect. and they were used in such a cleaver way. For example: when the character was flying around the place it used different shots to show where he is moving from. A lot of low and high shots were also used when he was flying across the room to show that he is high near the roof. The camera

This video was located in a lobby in a luxury hotel this is indicated by the marble flooring and the trees around the place.

The clothes worn by the main character is a brown suit with a white shirt, red tie and black shoes which gives and impression that he is not a worker but a businessman. The make up done on the character shows that is just woke up and is it sleepy.

The lighting of the video was not very bright and it indicated that it was night with the low key lighting. However in the lobby they do have a lot of lights on but it don’t show it as bright as it should be in a lobby.

The characters movements where as if he suddenly was in the mood of dancing and the video was very well put together and made a good flow which also made it better to watch.
