Split-Screen Phone Call | comment |
Summary: Both people on a phone call are shown simultaneously. Split Screen is one of those camera tricks that were never really popular... except for depicting people calling each other on the telephone, that is. A common cartoon gag with this is where the shouting character's portion of screen expands and/or the timid character's portion shrinks. Very useful when the tide of the argument shifts, moving that diagonal back and forth showing who's in charge. It's also common for cartoon characters to reach across the screen split and directly interact with the person on the other end of the line. It is sometimes parodied when the split is removed and it is revealed that the characters are actually next to each other. Even though there is nothing inherently comedic about this trick (and, when applied wisely, it can be a useful tool to portray two characters in an equal position with only the viewer deciding who to focus attention on, something not quite common outside of the theater. Plus, it eliminates the need for Repeating So the Audience Can Hear), it's rather hard to come by in any non-animated fiction that tries to take itself seriously. It can extend to more than just two screens, thanks to things like three-way calling and call waiting. |

Angel. Played for Laughs in The Teaser of "Provider". A Victim of the Week is being chased by an unseen monster, stumbles in the rain, finds himself clasping an Angel Investigations flyer, rushes to a phone booth and begins to dial frantically. We then Split Screen to Team Angel staring at the phone waiting for a call — only for the screen to split again to show a pizza parlor cook picking up the phone. Apparently the wrong number was printed on the flyer. | |

The Simpsons: It had a scene with tons of little screens as rumours spread about Michael Jackson coming to Springfield in "Stark Raving Dad". In "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife", the whole town's worth split screens appear when there is a piece of gossip about Marge being attracted to Ned Flanders, when she published a novel that seemed to have characters based on her, Homer and Ned. The episode "24 Minutes", a parody of 24, features many split screens. Martin even hurts himself when he manually closes his split screen. |

Two times in When Harry Met Sally...: Sally calls Harry one night and the two of them chat while watching "Casablanca". The split-screen is set up so that they're each in their own bedroom, in their own bed, but it looks like they're sharing a bed. A three-way set-up has Jess and Marie in bed together when Harry calls Jess and Sally calls Marie. When Harry and Sally tell their respective friends that they had sex the night before, Jess and Marie turn to each other and say in unison, "They did it!" |

24 does this a lot. According to the DVD extras for the first season, 24’s entire split-screen look was born of necessity when the editor realised the pilot involved a lot of phone calls. He was using a common computer editing setup that showed two separate takes running side-by-side and decided to apply that visual metaphor in the actual show. | |

Pillow Talk's use of this trope was parodied in Down with Love. The phone scene between Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger used the Split Screen in a rather interesting way to imply that they were directly interacting. Earlier in the film there's a montage of Ewan's character calling to cancel every time they're supposed to meet. By the final call the line dividing the screen is shaped like a bolt of lighting to show how annoyed Renee is about being stood up again. | |

The X-Files did one split screen between Agents Mulder and Scully, and then their boss Skinner joined in, too. It is played for laughs. Both Mulder and Scully lie about what they do, and only Skinner unashamedly admits that he's taking a bubble bath, which is what Mulder and Scully are doing as well. They were pampered by a Hollywood production as there was a movie being made, based on their case and characters. | |

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: Jimmy gets several split-screens in a row in "Journey to the Center of Carl" when his classmates call to complain about the "sick patches" suddenly dissolving into their skin, leaving them permanently sick. The call is actually a conference call, but we only see one classmate at a time, as they take turns speaking. This ends with Jimmy visibly pushing the split-line off the screen with his hand; the phone call continues, but Jimmy is now the only one the audience can hear. | |

A unique example in Five Star Final (1931). A distraught Nancy Townsend tries to call Hinchecliffe at the newspaper. But Hinchecliffe is on the line with Randall, so the screen shows Nancy in the middle as Hinchecliffe and Randall are on each side talking to each other. When Nancy gets bounced back and forth between the two of them, either the right side or the left side goes black. | |

Mimpi Metropolitan sometimes splits its screen during the early parts of a phone call before switching to the usual, unsplit screen. Bambang and Melani's phone call in episode 40 starts out split with Bambang on the left side and Melani on the right, before switching to the regular back-and-forth phone call. In episode 65, Alan's call with the people in Jakarta starts out split vertically, then horizontally, and then shown regularly for the rest of the call. |

My Dress-Up Darling has a particularly heartwarming one between Gojo and Marin. The latter called the former and asked him to talk so she would calm down (she'd been watching a horror movie and was scared of falling asleep). The two talk for a bit until Gojo ends up falling asleep, and we're shown a split image of the two lying on their beds in front of their cellphone, before Marin says that she loves him. | |

How I Met Your Mother uses this trope constantly and finds new ways to play with it. For example, one scene shows Lily talking to Marshall's mother and she hangs up. Marshall comes in, and they start talking about how they keep throwing away cookies that his mum sends them. Then they have floor sex. And split screen shot fades in, revealing that the phone was not hung up at all, and Mrs Eriksen was listening the whole time. | |
