The music video for Biffy Clyro's 'Biblical' explores life's cyclical structure through a repetitive storyline, as well as showing how some parts of life are inevitable no matter what you do.
The opening shot involves a close-up of the lead singer of Biffy Clyro, Simon Neil. Immediately Goodwin's theory of artist image is adhered to, the close-up allows the artist's face and tattoos to be seen in detail. The combination of the close-up shot and the use of a prop bed creates a sense of intimacy with the artist and the audience, which in turn links to the deep and sincere content of the lyrics .
The close-up of the telephone prop is used a narrative device as a symbol for new beginnings. The use of the telephone ring being much louder than the music highlight's it's role as a key aspect of the video's narrative.
The costume, hair and make-up in this shot is typical of the alt rock genre that Biffy Clyro belong to.dc The dark costume of the vest and shirt, juxtapose the orange background of the set, the vibrant tattoos on his shoulder and the dark hairstyle creating a clustered mise-en-scene to contrast with the next scene few shots of the video
