Split Screen: A Powerful Tool for Storytelling with Midjourney

Split screen, a cinematic technique that divides the screen into multiple frames, is a powerful tool for storytelling. It allows filmmakers to show multiple perspectives, create tension, and enhance the emotional impact of a scene. This technique has been used in films for decades, from classic films like ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ to modern blockbusters like ‘The Avengers’. In this blog post, we’ll explore the history, techniques, and effectiveness of split screen in film.
