A doble cuadro: montaje en dos situaciones

Abstract

The SplitScreen is a visual resource,its main attraction is to exhibit two or more spaces of video while they are simultaneously playing. These spaces are organized within the original movie screen, video or any audiovisual production, ie, they share a similar cinematic space. This organization is fully associated to an earlier postproduction or editing process.

Since its introduction, the split-screen was used to visually associate people in a phone call, this would become its most frequent application, however, over the years, other uses of the resource have been generated, which with its particular narrative and graphic aesthetic property has renewed the cinematic language.

STEREO is a short film written and directed by Leonardo Espinoza and Sebastián Sánchez, its main visual attraction is established with the full implementation of the split-screen technique, this is complemented with the basis of the story, an allegory that corresponds to the matches. The protagonists are unaware of their physical contiguity, but the viewer is the unique witness of their latent emotional correlation.
