Split Screen Test One

Using the four-point garbage matte effect in Adobe Premiere, I adjusted the shots to get James on the screen twice at the same time.



I overlayed both shots and used the garbage matte to cut the top shot. I cut the shot down the middle so it only took up 50% of the screen. This showed James walking down the stairs looking at himself sat there. This was a straight forward, successful first test for what I wanted. However, issues arose due to the bottom shot's colour fading when the top shot was cut. This has left a very distinct line down the middle of the screen.



I thought this might have been the location of the shot (possibly), so I resolved to use other footage that I had obtained from this shoot and see if I face the same problems.
