Our editing focused on improving the opening credits, color correction, and incorporating more short cuts to make the film more thrilling for our target teenage audience. We used parallel editing between scenes of the character Mary getting killed and another character Elliot looking in a briefcase to build suspense. Transitions like fading to black were also used to increase a sense of unease and mystery about what was happening. Quick cuts were timed with changes in camera angles and shots to keep the film thrilling, like between Mary running and getting shot and then cutting to Elliot in a different setting.

Summary as a whole:
Based on my target audience questionnaire, the teenage target
market generally preferred a video with fast pace music and a
setting, which creates a sense of unease and can be potentially
horrifying/scary. Which is why we chose the setting in the woods
and made our music on - going. Also the use of stereotypical
objects like a briefcase or a gun from the modern day films helped
us decide on what teenagers most enjoy in a thriller today.
