Featured Article for January

The split screen is a technique used to depict multiple scenes occurring simultaneously. In 24, the split screen technique receives thorough use due to the show's real time format and simultaneous plot lines. A split screen showcasing multiple characters and locations is always featured along with the ticking clock on each return from a commercial break (the act-in clock). Additionally, the final few minutes of almost every episode are prefaced by a split screen, often with urgent music, to update viewers on the status of each major character and plotline as the hour ends. The split screen effect was created by David Thompson, the editor of the first episode of 24.
