TV News Unit | The Edit 3: Revelations
Finishing and Uploading the Teaser Trailer
Today my two main goals were to finish editing and upload the teaser trailer for the channel onto YouTube and put together a website for the Carology brand. The teaser can be viewed below:
The edit went well today, while the boys worked on the live package and finalizing and implementing final feedback points from yesterday's fine cut review, I was finishing up the teaser trailer. I feel like it's come out well in the end. The live studio piece works well in the middle and came out about as well as I imagined it. The key there was going to be making sure the transition between the voiceover audio and the in-studio audio wasn't too jarring, fortunately it seemed to work out fairly seamlessly. I decided to switch out some of the footage towards the end of AJ with some sequencing clips of Alex doing exterior PTC's as I felt it more accurately conveyed an 'on-location presence' than the clips of AJ (see picture below).
The other key portion of the trailer that I edited today was the social media links bookending the teaser. I decided to utilise a gaussian blur effect on some of the Nissan Leaf b-roll, therefore allowing me to display information on top of the clips without being visually overwhelming or hard to read. I also keyframed in some basic animation for the text to make it appear somewhat more dynamic as seen below. In order to get the logos and text in sync with each other and be able to manipulate them on the timeline, I was required to nest them into a sequence, thus freeing up precious timeline space.
