We began by watching each of the shots we had recorded in order to choose the best ones, list them next to the storyboard so it go in the order of the narrative. once the sequence was in order, we cut and lengthened pieces according to the seconds we had written down on the story board and what would have a greater effect on the audience. This happened over the course of 5 lessons.
Due to the fact that we had planned so carefully i.e. timed each scene we had shot, it made the initial stages of editing fairly easy.
The next stage was to sort out the effects of each of the scenes in terms of speed, colour (brightness and contrast) or other effect that may be relevant to our teaser trailer. Our first successful effect was 'Ghosting', this distorted the scene, making it look as it two videos were played at the same time with a 0.5 second delay. Additionally, the scene was of Lucy breathing heavily and looking around so having that effect almost created a sense of confusion for the character, panic and isolation which could attract the audience drawing them to the teaser trailer and wondering what may happen next.
Previously, the group had an idea of using night vision, and as there was not a function on the video camera we were provided with, we searched for a tutorial on YouTube we followed to the best of our ability but it may have been a possibility that the version in the tutorial was different to the one we were using, so it did not come out exactly the same, with slight colour differences and size.

Later the group had realised that throughout the video, the 'Media Students' in the teaser trailer did not have any props- recording equipment with them so it did not look as though they were filming for anything. as a result we had to alter our story line that the media student were out looking for a location for their media project. By doing this, night vision at the beginning of the trailer would not be relevant and Lucy would have had to be holding a hand held camera which she didn't have at any point of the teaser. So we had to revert back to our original footage of Ghosting as the only effect used.
