Tyler, The Creator - Yonkers

In 2011, Tyler, The Creator released the video for his track "Yonkers". This video was praised by fans and critics for it's bold approach. The video is entirely in black and white and uses mostly mid shots of Tyler sitting on a stool in a blank room. A noticeable camera technique used in the video is the use of out of focus shots. The camera often moves out of focus of Tyler which gives the video an almost horror movie like vibe to it which would make sense given the content of the video (Tyler eating the cockroach, the black eyes and then eventually killing himself). Also, the use of silhouettes is effective. We first see this used when Tyler throws up after eating the cockroach and then when we see his legs struggling after he hangs himself. Another thing to note about the video is that it is shot in one entire shot, there is no cuts throughout the video.
