Screen grab of test footage

Here is a screen grab of the method we used to create the split screen.

As demonstrated above we had to layer each image into serperate audio lines and arrange them over top of each other to play at the same time. We then cut some images in half and layered another image beside this so that the image in the box would change fluidly whilst the others remained the same. We desaturated the long shot image and left the close up shots in full colour to breifly show the contrast between the images as in the real video the different coloured shots will represent different time periods of the narraitve. After placing the images on the timeline we arranged them on the preview box to create even spaces between the images where the screen would be split. We did not have anough time to apply a slug behind the footage which would create the white line we wanted. The black line, however, was suitable for our test footage. We experimented with lighting by and shadows by using hand held lights. We then took a section of the track and lined it up with the images on the screen. We then faded the end using the pencil tool to create a smooth fading finish.
