Rejected footage

Our original idea for our video was to use a green screen and put a background over it, as seen in Jessie J's music video 'Price Tag', which suggests that it is conventional of pop music videos. She used pastel colours such as pink and purple and we attempted to recreate the idea.

 

We chose two backgrounds from Google Images which we wanted to use our background for our green screen.



Simran has uploaded the video in which we experimented editing with a green screen in Final Cut Pro.




The reasons we didn't include the green screen was because:

• It didn't look realistic. It had a clear line around Beth making it look fake and like we had obviously put her over the screen, and not giving us the desired effect of her actually looking like she was there.
• It glitches and fades around certain parts in the video. We tried to alter this as best as we could but it still failed to blend in with the background. For example, Beth's hand.

Therefore, the reason we didn't include the green screen in our video was because we didn't want our footage to be bad quality as it doesn't look professional. This could have brought down the quality of our overall video so to replace the green screen we have decided to use a white screen to replicate a studio. We also chose to use a shadow effect for the bridge.
