Test footage of the split screen effect



Our main idea was to follow suit of a dance track ‘alors on danse’. this dance tracks music video is all split screened and the way it was done was fantastic.
With this in mind we as a group were determined to set out to achieve a split screened narrative of our music video.
Firstly we did some tests, some with no movement whatsoever so that we could get a general understanding of how to accomplish the split screened effect. (It was quite tricky to begin with just getting your head round the filming two different footages from either the left or right side of the camera).
Then we got to trying the effect whilst the person walks. This is what created a problem!
Reason being that the equipment that we had on offer wasn’t able to provide a stable enough shot once the camera person began to walk also. All we had were steady cam’s but these were of the lowest quality therefore hardly providing any aid once movement began.
The walking effect was also lost during the filming stage but the still split screen test luckily wasn’t.
