Use of the Split-Frame Technique in Motion-Picture Investigations

In split-frame technique, the two halves of a negative or print are exposed separately. Through this technique, many of the unwanted variables of photographic tests can be eliminated. In tests of lighting, make-up, filters or cameras, for example, negative split-frame exposure permits common negative processing, printing, and projection operations. Split-frame printer tests permit comparison on common print stock of print processing and print projection, thus minimizing these variables. The convenience gained is that of side-by-side comparison without special projection equipment.
