BTEC Media Homework

Homework for all BTEC students. You have 1 week to complete this work.

Following on from the lesson on Monday, I would like you to watch the music video to Fat Boy Slim's song "Weapon of Choice" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMZwZiU0kKs and analyse to detail. You will need to consider the following concepts and ideas:

  • Narrative
    • Often thought of as the Storyline. 
    • Sometimes Music Videos do not have a Narrative as such
  • Treatment (concept)
    • Type of video - dance, performance, filmic, narrative etc
    • Overall look and feel
    • Emotions
  • Connection to the song
  • Mise En Scene (what the camera sees)
    • Clothes/Make up
    • Locations
    • Props
    • Lighting
    • Actor movements/expressions
  • Camera shots/types/movements
    • Long shot, close-ups,etc
    • High shots, low shots
    • Pan, tilt, moving camera
  • Historic, Social and Cultural Context
    • Purpose of the video?
    • Might need to do extra research to answer this question fully.
