MDA1700 - Assessment 03 - Visual Essay - Melancholia

For the 3rd summative assessment we were asked to make a visual essay on any aspect of 'film'.
While initially, I found this very difficult as I had never had to do a video essay before, after deciding to base it on one of my favourite films: Melancholia, by Lars Von Trier, I started planning out how I can use the grand imagery of the film to put across the main point of my essay, which is how the film itself, featuring many auteur qualities of Von Trier, is not a typical disaster film.
Unfortunately, due to the software used to get the clips from the DVD, there is a watermark on the essay. If I make a visual essay again for this course, I will try to find another way to get the clips, avoiding the watermark
