Editing and constructing into a 'Teaser Trailer'

We have had to cut down so much footage during editing to narrow it down into a teaser trailer. It's been quite difficult to select, and scrap different shots when they took time and effort to set up and film. We've had to select random shots to form into a structure base to reveal the storyline. We began selecting different shots and scenes to have a basic order of events. This lead us to having a 'Trailer', that was roughly 1 minute 57 seconds, which was too long to be a 'Teaser Trailer'. We saved our 'Trailer', and then began cutting down, constructing the 'Teaser'. We now have a time length of 1 minute 16 seconds; so we have cut alot. Some of the dialogue was slowing the 'Teaser' down, so we managed to cut some of the dialogue, still making sense of the storyline that flows nicely. Adding music to the footage put the 'icing on top of the cake', it made it look dramatically more professional, and we found ourselves getting really excited the first time we tried the music over the top of the film. The beat of the song fitted well with certain shots and scene changes, it also added to the pace of the 'Teaser' making it faster and snappier. We found the song on the 'Audio production network', where we selected the genre and theme (under eerie/dark/atmosphere) and listened to various 'thriller' type music. We saved three appropriate songs onto my memory stick (lucy), so that we could see which one fitted the best with our footage. We may of liked the sound of some of the soundtracks, but it had to fit and flow nicely with our footage to make it work well. So far we are all really pleased with our teaser trailer, we're just waiting for our class assessment lesson to hear comments and advice on our progress so far.
