Britney video evaluation

My preliminary task was to re shoot and edit the video to Hit me baby one more time. I failed and had to do my best with the footage and crap editing software after I lost some of the footage (I must remember to make duplicate copies in future). Here is what I managed to scrape together and an evaluation of all the problems and how best to fix them when making my own video.
The first problem that my group and I had was that we were not thorough in our planning stage. This meant that we had to use different locations and cast members and had not given ourselves enough time to reshoot scenes we had already done, resulting in terrible continuity. In future to prevent this I intend to make more detailed plans and shooting scripts as well as giving myself more time in order to do reshoots and make sure that my location is readily available in advance.
Another problem was that, due to my carelessness and bad planning, I lost some of the footage. Only a few seconds worth, but it makes all the difference. As it was too late to reshoot, I had to juggle the footage I had around a bit in order to make something that slightly resembled the original video using footage more than once or putting it in the wrong place. When i do my own music video, I will make sure that I shoot everything more than once and make duplicate copies of the footage to make sure that this dose not happen again.
I also need to aquire better editing software because I have had to use windows movie maker, which is not the best editing software in the world. Happily, I now have better editing software that I am learning how to use.
In my group, because of our poor planning, we wasted a lot of time. In my own music video work I am going to make detailed plans and try to follow them as best as i can in order to use and manage my time  better.

All together, I think the video is the best I could do with the bad mistakes that I made. After watching it back I realize my mistakes and will address them in order to make my next music video project look more professional and less of a bad job with stupid mistakes that I made.
