Problems we faced throughout the whole process

Throughout the production process we did unfortunately face a few problems. First of all, our initial filming date didn’t go so well. Everyone was either late, didn’t turn up other than myself or didn’t know where to meet everyone, we had no form of contact with each other and we basically weren’t organised. However, we then resolved this by organising a new date, one where we knew everyone was free all day, we made sure we all had our phones on us and we organised a place where everyone was going to meet. This day then proceeded to go very well. We got all the filming done before it went dark, the weather was perfect and everybody showed up and we had lots of zombies.

When we came to editing, we realised that Matt’s lip syncing was very out of time with the song. We filming it many times but due to the camera we were using it was different to see if his lips were in time with the music as the screen was tiny when we watched it back. During editing, we have tried our best to match it up, it isn’t perfect but it isn’t really obvious unless your concentrating on it.

It was also difficult to get the green screen 100% perfect. We had to import the clip we wanted to use and then get rid of all the green so it went black. However around our faces and necks it was very difficult to get rid of the green so it doesn’t look that realistic. We improvised by using a green image behind it, we chosen one from the park with lots of trees to it looked mysterious as if you didn’t know what was lurking behind them. Matt was also wearing a white t-shirt so when we came to do the green screen bit for him, his t-shirt went see through! However, many people have said this looked comical and fit in well with the video so we decided to leave it in.
