President established as powerful in the group- low angle shot‚ announcer introducing‚ video of dancing. Ironic- it looks daggy‚ he looks ridiculous‚ but powerful in this setting. Scott’s samba is presented in an over dramatised manner to emphasise how he has challenged a very strictly established and controlled social order
