Textual Analysis of a Music Video

The title of this video is called ''Introdiction'' by the artist Scroobius Pip. It was directed by Aaron Shrimpton and Scroobius Pip himself. This is an example of a performance music video, Scroobius Pip performs the song to the camera in one take, which therefor puts a lot of emphasis into his performance, lyrics, and entirely on the artist himself.


This video is unique compared to other performance video's as there is no camera movement at all, depth of field is instead used to create different shot types. At the start he is standing far back from the camera to create a long shot, but as the lyrics start he comes closer to the camera so a close up is created as he performs to the audience.
