These are some stills of rejected footage from our music videos and the reasons why they were not used.

1. This is the first shot we rejected. It is 2 of the actors standing still while the camera pans from right to left. We didn't use this as we couldn't find a place to fit it in. It was a possible ending as the music fades out so would this shot but we went with another shot instead that represented the genre more. This looked a bit cheesy which didn't fit the mean, tough look we were going to fit the hip hop genre's conventions.

2. This is a shot of the actors standing still while the camera tilts up from their feet. In this shot the tilt stopped too early and cut off the actors heads.

3. This is another shot of the 2 actors standing still while the camera is static. This time we didn't use it because we caught the edge of the green screen in it. We thought this looked too amateur and we wanted to make our video look as professional as possible.

4. This shot was off one of the actors feet while she danced. We wanted to use this in the video but found when it was played back the lighting wasn't good and it looked amateur because of this. Also the floor and shoe choice didn't match the style we wanted. The shoes are a bit too messy looking for a flash hip hop group and the red carpet contrasts the green screen too much.

5. This shot wasn't used as the bottom of the green screen is visable making it look less professional as well as the actor turning her back on the camera too much. As well as this, throughout the shot the shadow casted on the back is too noticeable which took away from the action.
6. This was a 'to the camera' shot in which the actors danced to the camera (Which was handheld.) it came out looking a bit odd as the camera was very shakey which took away from the prefessionalism as well as the actors looking a bit uncomfortable.
