rdfs:label	Split screen
rdfs:comment	The split screen is a technique used to depict multiple scenes occurring simultaneously. It is often employed to show both sides of a phone conversation. In 24, the split screen technique receives thorough use due to the show's real time format and simultaneous multiple 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.

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 suggested by Season 1 director and executive producer Stephen Hopkins and later created digitally by David Thompson, the editor of the first episode of 24.
