Single Video Theory is a music documentary directed by Mark Pellington that follows the making of Yield, the fifth album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam.

The documentary illustrates how the band began to widen the songwriting responsibilities of its members, with bassist Jeff Ament credited with writing "Pilate" and "Low Light", and guitarist Mike McCready taking part in writing "Given to Fly" with vocalist Eddie Vedder.

It was the first insight into the band's inner workings of its recording sessions, which had previously been shielded from the public.

Allmusic staff writer Perry Seibert said, "The intimate musical performances will interest any fan of the band.

"[1] Single Video Theory has been certified platinum by the RIAA.
