In this project I am going to show my usual life since I wake up until I go to University. The camera should record the outside where is Cathedral then the camera should turn to my room and it should continue to my bed, where I was sleeping. First it should record my foots then it comes up to my hands where I am holding a phone with alarm clock. As soon as I stop the alarm clock the music will start and I get off the bed and I start my usual things to do. For example: washing my face , changing clothes, drinking water and .... .
How ever there are some important things about my project which are: I will split the screen to four and each screen will show a part of my body. A camera will record from rear, a camera will record from front, a camera will record from left and one Camera will record from right.
The video will be on Black and White and as well as that I am going to use fast motion that means I will frease myself on street to show the fast motion of people around me. I have designed two CD covers for front and back sides, so I will attach them.
These are only a sample, and they haven't finished yet.
SPLIT SCREEN: A LOVE STORY
Director: James W Griffiths
Producer: Kurban Kassam
Director of Photography: Christopher Moon
Editor: Marianne Kuopanportti
Sound Design: Mauricio d'Orey
Music composed by: Lennert Busch
This is a great video and the director used split screen, but the point with the video is, it has done in two or more different cities, but with the same situation. It was one of the first and on of the best videos I have seen about split screen. The idea of the video is so fresh and creative. Unfortunately I haven't used the idea of the video because: I didn't have time to create anything like that and as well as that I wasn't able to find similar situations.
SPLIT SCREEN: BEYONCE''COUNTDOWN'' VS ANNE TERESA DE KEERMAEKER
History: The earlier video highlights the work that "inspired" the music video for Beyonce's "Countdown." This second video puts the "inspiration" and the music video side-by-side.
HISTORY: Beyonce's "Countdown" video pays homage to many well-known women throughout recent history, including Audrey Hepburn and model Peggy Moffitt. However, most of the choreography and some of the cinematography, costumes and make-up used in the video are derivative of the work of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, a Belgian choreographer and dancer who was not as well-known by many young Americans until her work, uncredited, was pointed out in the video and others accused the video-makers of plagiarism. De Keersmaeker was not asked if her dance moves and overall style could be used and or mimicked for the video and was unaware of their appearance until she saw the video after its release.
This is not the first time Beyonce and her music videos have been called out for plagiarism or baring too much similarity to other work. Her last video, '1+1,' reproduces scenes from the unfinished French film, 'L'Enfer' (1964), starring Romy Schneider, while her upcoming video, 'Love on Top,' is a modern version of the music video 'If it isn't Love' by 80s R&B group New Edition. The singer also used dance routines from African dance group, Tofo Tofo for the video 'Run the World (Girls),' but included the dancers in the production. The singer has also been inspired by American choreographer Bob Fosse. The famous 'Single Ladies' dance bares striking resemblance to Fosse's 'Mexican Breakfast' and 'Something Better than This' (Sweet Charity), while Beyonce's video for 'Get me Bodied' is a modern update of the 'Rich Man's Frug,' another scene from Fosse's Sweet Charity. Most recently, the singer's live Billboard Music Awards performance was shown to be a near replica of Italian singer Lorella Cuccarini's live performance--it was later revealed that Beyonce contacted some of the same creators of Cuccarini's performance for her own performance. The original videos, as well as countless others that make comparisons between Beyonce's work and other work, can be found on Youtube. Beyonce has admitted to AOL Music and other sources that Youtube videos have inspired her work.
Both Beyonce and De Keersmaeker have made statements about the 'Countdown' issue and while the controversy is dying down, the video raised discussion about the differences between an homage, inspiration, reference, plagiarism, etc. Nonetheless, this video will hopefully show off the originals and pay some respect to both Beyonce and the original dancers, choreography, filmmakers, etc. Enjoy!
DAR ON SOOY
Director: Ashkan Naseri
This is an Iranian movie called Dar on sooy, it is about two Iranian Student who are living in the USA. The film is about their life. The director who is Ashkan Naseri used split screen in some parts. The movie doesn't show Iranian student's faces and it's on narrations and musics. At the beginning the idea of spliting screen came on my mind from this video, so after this video I have decided to create my video based on split screen.
