Music video reflection - Busted

Busted - What I go to school for was remade by our class which was filmed by me.
Filming produced a number of problems, the biggest of these being cast, as we did not have as many background actors as the original video, we could not replicate the original video exactly, and caused numerous continuity problems for different scenes, as we had to rely on same people to play different roles.
Everything else was already sorted beforehand, including the location and costume, which everybody was already prepared.
The overall time it took to shoot the video was alot longer than I originally thought, as I considered that filming a minute of the original video, albeit shot for shot, would take no more than an hour. But as we hadn't planned to do anything else during lesson time, I decided to slow down the production of the video remake to make sure that almost every shot we could do was possible.
I tried to include the original camera angles of the music video and I think I achieved it atleast 90%, as we analysed each shot beforehand.
I think we did a fairly reasonable job of remaking the video, which I enjoyed the performances of the cast, yet thought the greatest weak point was the amount of shots, as I think we lost a few shots due to a camera malfunction caused by myself, which bit me back later in the editing room.
Overall I would call this a success, as it acomplished what we set out to do at a fairly reasonable level.
