Sobre la pantalla dividida(Split-Screen) y el sonido estereofónico aplicados al cortometraje Stereo

Abstract

Because we live in a world saturated with multimedia products, in a visual arts context that’s constantly changing and growing, the need to study certain aspects of film technique and concept, is becoming more specific and evident.

This thesis holds the purpose of studying the cinematic technique known as Split-Screen, starting with its meaning, origins, evolution and application throughout film history. Several films which use Split-Screen as a form of expression are taken as case studies. Various authors points of view on the subject are also analyzed so as to gain a wider perspective on the subject, along with its modern applications.

The information gathered is later studied and applied to the creation process of the short film Stereo, which uses Split-Screen as its main form of expression, to construct a dual universe that works well in relation to the created storyline. Hypothesis are formulated about the role this technique plays in the film, and are later analyzed in comparison to the final result of the movie, to see if the investigation was successful or not.
