Split Screen

For one part of the music video where both characters are sitting by the door, we decided that we wanted to include a split screen in the video which we thought would look quite effective and unique. To do this, we found a youtube video which gave us the basic instructions of how to produce this.

We followed the instructions and 'overlapped' the two shots. We then had to edit them using the 'motion' tab in the viewer box. This allowed us to crop the images and move them around to create the split screen effect.

We cropped the images using the tools in the 'motion' tab and also used the 'centre' tool to move the images to where we wanted them to appear in the frame.

Here is what the final split screen looked like.
