INDEXGreen screen help - I can't remove the background can anyone have a go?

I shot an interview on a greenscreen for a charity, but lit it too strongly so parts of it are white.
I've tried so many different ways in Premiere CC but not getting anywhere.
Would anyone be able to give it a go? It's just two girls sitting down talking about their charity.
If so many thanks in advance

Hey Max,
If you have a mix of colours in your green screen, especially if it's gone to white in places, it'll be near-impossible to key.
I can't tackle the shot due to time restrictions, but have done a lot of keying / rotoscoping and can offer some tips.
Use multiple keys to deal with different colour ranges, you'll be unable to tackle this with a single keyer. OR,
Depending on shot length, the best approach might be to rotoscope. It can be daunting at first, but will give a superior result - if done well, can be superior to keying. I'd avoid at all costs using After Effects rotobrush, it's great for static objects but if you have a moving subject, use an animated matte / rotoscope.
You can combine both - so use roto to deal with the areas that are blown out / invalid for your keyer. Then key the other area and add both mattes together.
