In regards to [my video essay], the market effect on the original work can only be positive.

[This video essay] is designated solely for the purpose of rhetorical analysis. It is presented in an educational manner for academia. By using short, less than 2 minute, clips, this video will not hurt any of the respective films’ stream of revenue. The film clips used in this educational video do not reveal any spoilers or key plot points that would refrain viewers from watching the films presented. If anything, [my video essay] encourages viewers to purchase and watch the films that are analyzed. It gives new perspectives and insights on films that ignite/reignite interest in the films depicted. In a way, it almost acts in the same way as trailers, making people interested in the entire film from the short clips that are presented and analyzed. [This video essay] would increase interest, and therefore the purchasing of the actual films. Because the video is so short and only features limited information, it doesn’t unfairly take away any earnings from the directors, actors, and producers of the films.

Concerning the effect on theater and distribution markets, [this video essay] does not infringe on any business. It is only being used for educational, not commercial, uses. It is not competing with legal distribution methods, such as DVDs and authentic streaming services like Netflix, as it serves more of a complementary function to the actual movies.  Also, realistically, [this video essay] will only be seen by a small audience of the 22 students in the class. This is nothing compared to the capacity of a large, commercial theater. Because of this, my video essay does not violate any fair use restrictions.

Note : anything in brackets can be substituted for the title of your actual video essay.
