Green Screen practice

Today I decided to have a go at using a green screen, I want to see if it would be something that I could use for my music video.

I used this article to help me get rid of the green background in Premiere Pro:

How to Chroma Key in Adobe Premiere Pro

Chroma keying is usually something that is done in After Effects, but sometimes, whether the simplicity of the project or just the fact that you do not want to send your footage to After Effects, you'll want to chroma key in Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro comes with a great keyer built right in called "ultra key."
Here's a short video, note this is only for practice purposes and trying out the keying setting on Premiere Pro. After trying out the green I don't think I would use it in the music video, because it would be hard to make it look like the two aren't different images due to lighting consistency, and I don't think it would fit in with the narrative/song I'm thinking about making a music video for. Taking this into account I decided to use an extremely unrealistic background of space for this trial piece. Although I am glad that I tried it out, so I know in advance what kind of look it creates and how to chroma key in future.

Other details like the band members and recording location also need to be included.

Best music videos of all time?

I've come across a few online articles when searching for the best music videos of all time, using ratings from NME, timeout and Billboard I've complied a short list of the music video that are considered to be the best of all time. Interestingly the music videos I've looked at are all completely different in concept and type.  Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Influence for the look of the video came from the 1979 film, Over The Edge. The band distributed out flyers two days before the shoot, asking fans to appear in the video. A radio station in LA (KXLU) also made a casting call for extras. At the end of the filming, Kurt Cobain suggested letting the extras wreck the set. Bayer, the director, agreed and the destruction at the end of the music video occurred. Kurt didn't like the director's cut, so he personally watched over the re-edit, which is the final version. Amy Finnerty, who had only just joined the music programming department at MTV, campaigne...
