Multi-Mage

Multi-Mage is an editing technique where two separate pieces of footage are split into two or more sections on a screen. You can either split different footage or duplicate the same footage but slit it down the middle. Multi-mage is used to create an effect for a particular shot or a certain piece of footage. It can also be done to show more than one shot at a time, this is useful fi you have more shots than you need and you want to use all of them. Multi-mage is a good editing technique as it enables the editor to create parallel ideas and juxta pose different images so that different colours vibrate and different action vibrates the resonance I have the ability to create texture with my shots. An example of when multi-mage has been done was recently in the schools video that we sent of for the viewing of china. Multi-mage has been used widely throughout the video which allowed all shots that needed to be included to be in the footage. The edit was done on final cut pro which enables the used of different split screens.

As you can see from the images above different uses of multi-mage have been do to add an effect to the footage as well as managing many different shots at a time.
