To make sure that the trailer included a change of pace I decided to include a montage of Izzy dancing about a minute into the trailer. I chose to place it here as the music changes pace at this point, to a faster tempo, this means that I can have faster cuts during this section and it would fit in with the music.
I created the montage in a room where there was stage lighting attached to the ceiling, this meant that I could control the amount of lighting that was on Izzy. I did this so that I could try and create a silhouette effect on my actor. Using the stage lighting I was able to create this effect and alter the lighting to make some shots lighter and some shots much darker, creating a contrast.
Creating the montage was easier as I had already had some experience with the software, meaning it became easier to use. I loaded in all the footage that I had filmed with the various types of lighting and cut them together at different stages, this is so that each shot was only around a second, second and a half.
By doing this in the beginning it meant that when I came to cutting the shots together, it was easier for me. I the proceeded to place all the shots together in a way that flowed and didn't seem too disjointed. I decided to put all the darker shots into one section, and all the lighter shots into threat section. I did this because when I was cutting the shots together, it didn't flow correctly between the different lighting settings. I then chose to put all the darker shots together and all the lighter shots together, this made the trailer flow more, even with the contrast of the lighting.
