Split Screen Test Footage



I have began filming with the intention of taking it into editing and giving a split screen. The idea of this is so I can have the same person on the screen at the same time.

In order to do this, I needed to centralize the shot and keep the camera in the the same place at all time. Also, I needed to block the shot so the actor (James) did not pass the centre line. The idea being that both shots are going to layered in post and then the top layer will be split into 2 halves. One of the halves will be taken away, giving way for that half of the underlaying shot. However, because the camera has stayed in the same place, it goes unnoticed that half a shot has been taken away.

I filmed these test shots in two different places in order to get extra practice with camera placement and blocking.
