Editing the Master Shot Sequence

This being my first real experience editing a short film project (aside from the very small, silly video projects I had in high school) I was very anxious. I was excited to finally get my hands dirty and work hands-on on our master shot sequence, since this is what I am going to school for, to learn how to make films. Even more exciting was the fact that this was a narrative project and together our group had creative control to interpret the Bran & Park skeleton script however we wanted. I was also extremely nervous since is the first time or my first crack at serious film editing. I have never used Adobe Premiere and am still in the process of watching the Lynda.com tutorials. I feel very inexperienced but being kind of thrown into the program is helping me learn the program a little bit as well. Our first idea was really funny but we ran into too many issues with finding actors, props, etc. for our idea in such a short time. Not to mention two other of our peer groups had similar ideas. So we changed it to something completely different than our original idea (which was serial killer speed dating) yet kept a little bit of the quirky humor in it. Ours is now about two girls who play a prank on their friend while playing with a Ouija board. I haven't had much time working on the editing of our footage yet, but together Adrienne and I have been working on the organization of our shots, synchronizing the audio to the video, and now cutting down the scenes and fine tuning them to be cleaner and more concise. We are  hoping to do more advanced editing today in our class in the lab, yet we still have to record some of the sound later today after class that we have to edit in to our dialogue sequences since it could not be recorded on set while we were filming.
