SPLIT SCREEN MUSIC VIDEOS

• Split Screen :- In film and video production, split screen is

the visible division of the screen, traditionally in half, but also in several simultaneous images, rupturing the illusion that the screen's frame is a seamless view of reality, similar to that of the human eye. There may or may not be an explicit borderline.

Split screen is a potential idea in our music video, as it will help us capture more then one character at once showing. Which would compliment well with our video narrative as the song we have chosen talks about a broken heart that doesn't have even sides, each screen and person will represent one side of a relationship.

Here I have experimented with split screen using pictures of the same person in different position. This is how it will look like if we adapt this idea to our music video.

Example of Split screen Music Video

‘Hey there Delilah’

Hey There Delilah was directed by Jay Martin. It was first seen on MTV on May 11, 2007. The video was filmed in Chicago but had the feel of New York City. It has a unique layout messaging out a busy yet dramatic effect. There are three

boxes that show different scenes but the video is consistent with the girl in the city and with Higgenson singing in a room playing his guitar

I found the concept and idea of this video very similar to ours, I also like how the small screens are boxed rather then combined. This is something I will consider

when editing our own music video.
