Editing Split screen (video production) (section)

===In music video===
A number of music videos have made creative use of split screen presentations. In [[Michael Jackson]]'s "[[Billie Jean]]" video a number of freeze frames are shown in split screen.  Video and film director [[Michel Gondry]] has made extensive use of split screen techniques in his videos. One notable example is "Sugar Water" - [[Cibo Matto]] (1996), where one side of the screen shows the video played normally, and the other side shows the same video played backwards. Through careful and creative staging the two sides appear to interact directly - passing objects from side to side and visually referencing each other. The music video for "[[Doo Wop (That Thing)]]" by [[Lauryn Hill]] was filmed using a split screen technique, the video features Lauryn, performing the song at block parties in two different eras: the mid-1960s (The year 1967 is shown on the left of the video) and the late-1990s (The year 1998 is shown on the right).
