Lars Von Trier – Melancholia
After visualising his distinctive directing style, i came across “Melancholia” a heartbreaking drama about a young lady suffering with bipolar disorder, within the drama we also witness the test of relationship between “Justine” and “Claire” two sisters that have been pushed to the brink of oblivion.
Opening Sequence.
With the art of slow downed scenes it allows the audience to consume the surroundings, embrace the emotion placed on display. The reason i chose this scene in-particular is because of the use of music brings out a different type of visual that people can’t see. The white noise settles our minds and brings up to a peaceful place, The cinematography of each shot was well thought out and executed perfectly, the use of lighting brought out the nature colours that normally are hidden in the shot.
