Experimenting with green screen

In yesterdays lesson, we began experimenting with using the green screen, as we were debating if to use this within our trailer for a shot. This shot would include the 'final' main girl sitting down somewhere - possibly looking at her bookshelf or in her bedroom - when a shadow comes over her. We want this shadow to be large and look threatening, representing something not human.
However, once experimenting, we realised it would be very difficult to create a shadow on the green screen. This is due to the large bright image contrasting with the individual, on top of the bright lights still representing a bright colour even when we turned the lights off.
Therefore, this experiment was successful with finding out different results, although we have left this idea behind in reference to the shadow shot. However, we may decide to re-use this later on or for another shot, due to this differing from just typical camera shots.
However, the video below represents our experiments, which features a brick wall as a background as we thought this would be simple. We experiment with moving the camera around, on top of turning various lights off to give off varied lighting:
