Split Screen

For our first class of creative media practice, we looked at split screens. Split screens is when the camera screen is decided into several different pieces and has different things playing on each screen. 

To begin our first class, we looked at different ideas that can be created through using split screen and watched different examples of split screens. Once we had all a good understanding of different split screens, we then gathered into groups of 3 or 4 and came up with our own idea for a short split screen idea. 

I was in a  group with Mark, James and Emma. In our group we came up with an idea that we were going to have one screen appear first with someone reading, next there will be a screen appear to the left with a girl talking and inturpting the person on the main. We then added in another screen on the right side which was someone having a party. 

Once we had our split screen planned, we decided to go to Mark and James' apartment to film the footage that we needed for our first class and continued to create the rest of our project the following day in class.

Below is a link to a split screen music video showing what each of the different instruments are doing at each stage.
