This is a music video done by a media student at A2 level. I have chosen to look at this because it has made good use of split screen. The first example of this is at 0.24. It shows two shots of a person playing guitar but from different angles, a shot of the person singing, as well as a fourth shot of someone tapping their foot to the beat.
I liked this becuase it showed you that there was more going on at the same time than just the person playing guitar, they were also feeling the beat of the song through their foot tapping and feeling the meaning of the sing in the emotion of their face as they sang the lyrics.
Another example of this is from the film 'Mean Grils'. The picture below shows a clip from the film where four girls are talking to each other on the phone but are shown to be doing this through the use of a four way split screen.
This to has the effect of more than one thing going on as it is clear that the four girls are talking to each other at different locations but are clearly connected through this shot.
This is something that I could do in my own music video, leaning more toward the affect that they have gone for in the 'Come Together' music video. I could do something similar but instead of four shots of the same person I would like to do four shots of the each person playing their insrument but possibly in different locations so that it is as if the band are playing live but from different areas.
Here is an example of my attempt of this technique:
