editing for first day of shooting

Today Tom and I edited the scenes we shot on Thursday. We looked at the footage we had which was harder than it seemed because Tom forgot to rewind the tape, and we ended up shooting a minute of just looking at the wall. When we finally imported our shots we ended up having to wait five or six minutes while the computer letterboxed our work, then took a minute to go to the computer options and get rid of letterboxing. When we looked at the footage we noticed right away that most of the transition shots we filmed out in the churchyard had a shaky frame, and had to get rid of most of them. We also had to cut 2 seconds of film from the shot of the seeker walking down the hallway because of an unrelated to filming person showing up on film. We also took out some of the walking bits of that one shot to make it look like the seeker was wandering in a zigzag up the hall. Personally I think that particular shot is a little shaky in its foundation because the cut is a little sloppy in between the seeker looking into individual doors. In one of our churchyard shots we have a separate shot of the sunny sky which we could use for some of our transitions. Finally we made copies of each shot just in case of work loss. After all that work we found out that the computer had seemingly rejected our changes, and there was only ten minutes left of class time which really bites in my opinion.
