Weapon Choice : FatBoy Slim

Weapon of choice....

Narrative: 

Within this video it hasn't got a major or multiple storyline, all it is a man dancing. This video isn't to explicit as other videos.

It showing how people feel and would express themselves when they are alone. As Fatboy Slim is "Britain's top dance mixmaster" and Christopher Walken is known as a "hollywood mid age bad boy" they both do not mix. 

For both to be interacting is something new, as this video isn't alike normal "dance/pop" music videos, this shows a wider variety. In other hands with a 'businessman' just dancing by himself in this hotel/work office place isn't what normal or original for pop videos. Its a filmic video, it shows a story. Mainly because of the actor which is starring in the music video. The message the video is implying in my own opinion is; that he believes everyone chooses what to do in life, though many they enjoy living life happily alone. As well as how the actor is just standing on furniture, going up the elevator but not using it properly expresses his emotion of joy. Although he objects to be a successful man because of the suit . He doesn't have a pleasant facial expression when the music video starts, as the beat gets louder and the narrator sings. The actors emotions changes , he enjoys the freedom of him being by himself but as he realise, this is just a fantasy he settles down back to his seat. 

It Gives a happy feeling, the beat is very easy to remember and people can reflex back to the music. The lyrics gives a vision of which people can understand; can reflex to their ordinary life style. 

The location where this video was placed is originally meant to be advertised, not usually used as a "POP video". This was quiet unusual because of the costume or outfit the main actor was doing. As well as that moves he doing is making the video more entertaining for the viewers. Fatboy Slim maybe used him to send off many messages. 

• Camera shots/types/movements
• In the Beginning it started off as a Long shot, it then changed by the camera becoming a close-ups shoot. This was used to show the setting of the video and also to show what the actor face is expressing. The shoots change by it getting more closer to the actors face to show his emotions. When the music starts, the shoots again becomes a long shot. this is used for effection. This just keeps on repeating. So that the audience get what the actor is expressing or feeling.
• There is low shot, this was used only when he was fantasying about himself flying. This was used to show the length he was far from the ground. 
• The camera was moving because this was a filmic video. So it was showing the scenery in the video and for us to get the 'story' of the music video. The director used that because he was showing the 'weapons' used. In other words what the business man has got.

 This music video imitates the film "dune'. "if you walk without rhythym, it won't attract the worm" is from Dune. 

quote by http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1543... explains that 'weapon of choice" is actually entitled to a film called Dune. 

his song is very much based on (at least peripherally) the David Lynch movie, Dune. Much of the heady subplot involves a secret weapon that one family has over all the others; the main character is, himself, a weapon; he knows a rare and closely-guarded martial art that no other men know; a subculture of witches called the Bene Gesserit utilize an ability called "The Voice" that allows them to bypass the victim's higher brain functions and give them an irresistable command, and the weird affect on Bootsy's voice during much of the song sounds a great deal like the weird affect used in the movie when The Voice is used; the line about Walking without rhythm and not attracting worms is lifted almost directly from the film (and the book); a major theme of the book and the movie is ascension to a higher form of life, as Paul is expected to transcend normal human existence (as in the lyric, "It's gone beyond being a man"), and the final stanza reflects this.

Also this story that explores the complex interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion. This does link to the video as

actor doesn't care about what he is doing. But expresses his feelings when he is dancing. But some movements are martial arts.
