Completed Teaser Trailer: Katy Jackson

Here is the final version of my teaser trailer for a music documentary i  completed using my own editing software, Movie Studio Platinum. This teaser trailer consists of only a small percentage of footage i filmed myself and instead uses a lot of footage from the covers that are already on Katy's YouTube channel; the same goes for most of the videos of her performances, except from one which i filmed at Chacombebury festival.


In reflection, i think the edits are effective for this trailer because the use of fades and cuts juxtaposed together helps to create a calming atmosphere, also suggesting that like the slow fades, the steps to career success are just as long and dark; yet hard work will inevitability pull people through, as shown through how i've tried to make it look as if Katy is trying again and again, putting as much effort and passion into what she does in order to succeed. The sound is used to advertise the music artist, Katy, where not only are we provided with snippets of her songs and covers, but in the background i have chosen to play one of her original songs; music is thus extremely relevant to my teaser trailer. Looking back at the teaser, if i could have improved the teaser trailer i would like to have fixed up some of the fades, both for the shots and sound. Also i would probably play around with the music in the background a little more scrupulously since towards the end of the teaser trailer you can hear the music play alongside the sound of Katy singing a cover, something that is a minor distraction but nevertheless slightly annoying. Furthermore, if i had more time and more specialised software i would have liked to alter and improve the credits and title by making them a less cliché and using font and colour that is both effective and eye-catching.
