In the earlier stages of planning my music video I was considering the use of a green screen to create some of my clips, however I had no experience using a green screen and wanted to have a practice before deciding to use it within my video. I did a few test shots where the subject was stood still and also some where she is moving so I could see the ways in which that may come into effect when adding a background.
After looking at some youtube tutorials I managed to learn how to use the "keying" effect in order to replace the green screen with a background of my choice, for this practice I simply used a series of different images I found online. I also experimented with effects such as using black and white and re-positioning the clips, this helped me become more familiar with the program Final Cut Pro.
Overall I am quite happy with these test shots as I have successfully learnt how do do the effect I wish to use. The test shots are far from perfect as there is some blurriness around the outline of my model, however I am aware that this can be fixed with a better arrangement of lighting as a way to reduce shadows. I am not 100% sure if I will use the green screen when creating my actual music video depending on what over locations I manage to get, although I am very happy with the experiments I have completed so that when I do decide on my final location I will be aware of what process I would need to complete if I choose to use it.
