The Nature of the Copyrighted Work

My video essay’s use of source material qualifies as fair use under the nature of the copyrighted work. Although I used creative work (film), it is also published work and served as a medium for my rhetorical analysis only. Given the context of my video essay, film analysis, the use of these clips was essential for a visual understanding of my argument. Therefore, using clips from the film itself aided in my rhetorical approach but was not meant for any other purpose beyond that of enriching my video essay. The intention was purely to inform and educate an audience on the rhetorical techniques used in [list of film(s)].
