Technical Difficulties!
So when filming our music video we did encounter a few significant difficulties, this included things such as Batteries running out, and the green-screen light's not having a long enough cable however we managed to sort all of these issues.
Firstly the problem we first encountered was in which the greenscreen light's didnt have a long enough cable to get one light on each side, we searched around for a few extention lead's however we unable to find enough to help it reach to where it needed to be so we had to use both the light's on one side and thanks to our green-screen editing skills (Newly learnt by all of us) we managed to bring it all together and edit it perfectly!
The second 'disaster' we ecnountered was while filming outside of the school the camera lost all battery charge, this may have been because we rushed getting out of the school to film and didnt check the camera's charge, we tackled this issue by whenever we went out filming we turned the camera on to check how much battery would be left and if it would last the time we needed it to, in situations where the camera would be left at someone's house overnight we also used one of the charger's to ensure the battery would not go flat.

Testing the raw footage!
To test our raw footage we use some green-screen work however, this clip isn't in our music video due to there being a more touched up and sharper clip which we used.
In the clip here we show a clip with the green curtain behind and then an edited section however due to us all being farely new to green-screen editing we all pitched in and worked together to learn to edit the green-screen work, which infact is fairly simple.
The main way in which we decided to test this footage would be to fully edit the part of the clip in which we would use for the countdown of 1-2-3-4, this worked fairly well however there were still some specles of green from the editing however the raw footage itself worked perfectly fine!
This is and example of how raw footage of a green screen can be turned into a solid background which works well.
