Editing Trailer One

Once filming was wrapped up, I began to import our filming into Adobe Premiere Rush. Here, I noticed the issues of our production immediately:

• The sound – certain takes, especially ones resembling this found footage look we attempted to create, were muffled and could not pass well even as intentionally bad found footage, as the dialogue is meant to be heard to add crucially to what the plot could possibly be. Although I did forget the the sound equipment I thought I would be able to work with the sound through the video clips.
• The scenes themselves - there isn't enough shot differentiation and that transferred to the trailer; there are some scenes for example the gas station scene that looks complicated due to the lack of exposition of where the characters are or came from. The 'expert' appears out of nowhere and would make all the more sense if there was simply a shot of her looking above the isle overhearing them.  

When put all together the production looked... messy in a way that looked like there was no planning involved. Despite our differences I did trust my partner to try but the footage doesn't make sense and with issues on my own end I was unable to record with my main technology- the sound equipment. 

When faced with the issue I did ask my partner if there would be a way to reshoot and the answer was probably no due to the busy schedules and approaching time limit.  She told me to try to edit and if genuinely needed we could figure something out so that is what I will be doing. 

Here is an example of one of the shots taken in the gas station scene. Our actor messed up so the title scene I had in mind would not be possible, and there are some missing lines/scenes to make the trailer seem coherent. 

For example as soon as this scene is done they are in the forest with no explanation of how they got there. I know trailers are not supposed to be exact, however I want the trailer to at least flow coherently.
